I seem to think months & even years in advance now just so I can organise myself a little better. All who know me know that I'm the biggest 'phlegmatic' in the world. Which means if there's anything that needs doing, I'll wait till the very last minute, maybe even second to do it. Procrastination is my middle name...reminds me of some one else who contributes on this blog? So due to that fact, I now try & think ahead even if that means in years.
For instance, I've just finished enrolling Gabe into a kindy for next year. I didn't know you had to apply so early & ended up on a waiting list! So much for early prep. I wanna study music in 2007, so am going to take theory, singing & piano lessons for all of next year so I can be prepared. We're thinking about whether we want any more kids so that we can 'conveniently' plan them in before I'm 30. Mortgage?! New car?! More study?! Travel?! Sometimes I think I'm thinking waaay too much. Putting too much pressure on myself to live my life to the full. Life is balance...I guess if I wanna enjoy it I've gotta balance out all the 'stuff' whilst living in God's peace. Taking time out to BE STILL.
Today's my day off from motherhood, Prov 31 pressure, & to do lists. So I might watch a movie, have a coffee with my mate J.C or just walk around Perth. I'm going to live my day to the full without actually doing anything. Make sense?
