All Beginnings are hard. . . . And sometimes I add what I have learned on my own: "Especially a beginning that you make for yourself. That's the hardest beginning of all."
from: Chaim Potok, from In the Beginning
Christmas. Last week was hard. Overworked, underslept, exposed to too much drama, and lost so much weight that I need to find my old pants.
The week completed and, frankly, it is a let down. The freedom of having a long list of work looks kind of good right now. I have to plan this upcoming week; It is a time to begin again. And the big question is, "Where to start?"
My angelic side is cooing into my ear, "Get the story organized, you can work on the student skills book, there is sorting of little-used and useless stuff to happen, and the ironing, sweetie."
My demonic side is growling, "You worked hard last week, we need a day off, the hard drive is full of TV shows to catch up on and the boxed wine is chilled."
Argh. Sometimes it is much easier if you are put in a position where you cannot "think," you can only "do."
So, will I "nut up" and accomplish something useful or take the day?
Sigh. I don't want to adult today, but I think it'll happen.
Gratitudes: Uniglo shirts, ATM cards, cake.
