I'm busy today. I've really had a crazy last week. It was my birthday on Friday and the event basically turned into a 12 day party. Nights out with friends. Golf (Golf at Winged Foot no less). Lots of drinking and eating and partying. Late nights every night. Seeing old and new friends. Connecting with people who I've been missing. Just good things. This coming after a wonderful ten days in Ithaca with my father and grandmother, just lead to a brighter outlook on life. That all being said, I've slacked in my responsibilities and I'm going to suffer because of it. The reality is, things are tougher for me right now than ever before in my life and I know it. So I made a list.
I couldn't sleep this morning, because I was thinking of things good and bad in my life. I decided to lay in bed for a bit and soak up the good things in my life, but then dove into the realities of life. I grabbed a pen and paper and I made a list. I then divided the list into five groups. The first was things that I must accomplish today. That list had four items on it. The second was things that must be accomplished by Friday. That list had nine items on it. The third list was things I must try to get done by the end of the month, but soon after will suffice. That list had three items on it. The fourth list had one item on it. It's the most important of the lists and while there is no timetable for completion, I hear the clock ticking. I headed the lists A-D. The final list was I headed with a heart. That list has only three items and that list is things I would like to do in the near future strictly to make my life a little happier. Only one of the items is time sensitive and honestly, I hope can be fulfilled. The other two, I will have to wait and see.
It sounds silly and for me this blog is about the most vague I've ever been about my life, but recently I've noticed that being a little vague can be as powerful and being an open book. So far, I have achieved half of the must do today list, with one attempted and failed, but will try again after I stop typing. The other is a phone call away, but I may take a walk to achieve it. This will also allow me to cross of something from list B.
We'll see how it goes. Wish me luck.
