I finally caught up with an old friend for dinner tonight and while we were at Swirl, a new friend came in and said “You are on my list to call” – because he is helping me with someone who knows how to work on WordPress Blogs. The “I’ve been meaning to” is so resonant these days that are going by faster than a wintering bird. How do you stop time, do everything you meant to do, and remain sane? It’s nigh impossible is my conclusion – every day as my ex father in law used to say there are stresses that pull you in the direction you go, you may start off with a “to do list” but this pulls or that pushes and before you know it that day and your to do list are not in charge anymore and so how do you handle your burden. Lena Horne said it’s not the burden that wears you down it’s how you carry it. Well sometimes you just simply freak out – and so what? – you want perfect, you want composed, you want professional – move along.
So for all those I meant to call today, I’m sorry but a friend’s infant’s MRI, her mother’s MRA, my work, my dinner date, all of this got in the way of me being able to attend to your call, our talk, both of our needs.
