The Plan

Remember how I said a couple of days ago that I would come up with a plan to handle all the things I HAVE to do? Well, here it is:

Stop feeling like I have to do anything for anybody.

When the phone rings, I often feel I HAVE to answer it.

When someone doesn't call or e-mail me, I often feel I HAVE to call or e-mail them to stay in touch.

When people send all sorts of e-mails, I often feel I HAVE to get back to them. Maybe not today but at some point which leaves it on my To Do list.

When there are holidays, I feel I HAVE to send cards although I often don't because I never get around to them since I already have a thousand things on the aforementioned To DO (DO, DO, DO) list.

When the business needs something done, even though I've said a thousand times HIRE SOMEBODY or YOU ALL HAVE TO PRETEND I'M DEAD, I end up doing what needs to be done.

This is the other reason (other than having my little ones) that there is not enough time to do what I WANT to do ... because I spend the time I DO have doing what I feel I HAVE to do.

Guilt is wicked and silly. Whose life is it anyway, right?

Thank You

So much can be said about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. but on this day - the 40th anniversary of his untimely death at the mere age of 39 - all I want to say is something to him and that is:

Thank You
