Didntseeitcoming

When it is Monday, you never know what kind of hidden treasures you will find. My Monday this week had a hidden freight train and I didntseeitcoming! We usually are juggling so many things, so many plates in the air, then all it takes is a small chain reaction of events to topple them down.

So as the house of cards was tumbling, and I was rolling down the hill many things go thru your mind. The thoughts were rushing by like the landscape on a super sonic transporter and I was seemingly helpless to intervene.

So on this Tuesday, I am picking myself up, and marching on. If I sit on the tracks, it won’t make anything better. If I take time to think about what happened, it is over no redo’s available. I think the learning curve is in the going forward, no matter what went on yesterday, today is the day!

Tidbit’s of wreckage float by, and I take note as I am back on the tracks going forward. Who knows when the next freight train could be in my future? Not to worry, I have survived many before and I will survive many ahead along with the calmer things that life brings each day!

Today is the Day!

Today is the Day! I have wanted to get this website up and running for the last two months! One thing after another has deterred me, or distracted me. We all fight the battle of too many things to do, not enough time in a day, or weekend. It is more than a time management problem, it is also a time protector problem. It is very difficult to be able to discern what is really important, what really needs to get done and what is just things we do because we think we have to.

So as not to make a total fool of myself, I have read many great comments on how to be a great blogger, the mistakes that bloggers make, and great blog titles. All these things are very helpful, true, informative and very important to us first timers, but sooner or later we have to start!

I know I have so much to learn, but I am starting where I am knowing that I will grow along the way. I have a passion for something that isn’t talked about very much today that I will be sharing in a future post. I am thankful for so many that have put help out there, Chris Brogan of Third Tribe, Barry Moltz @ BarryMoltz.com, and Seth Godin whose daily wisdom has really made me stop and think.

I am currently reading “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” by Dale Carnegie. I never really thought that I was a worrying kind of person, just that I had a lot of concerns and things on my mind. I learned that I was a worrier and needed to stop, it was holding me back from what I wanted to do in life. I am taking each page of this book seriously having learned something about myself I didn’t see. The first thing I learned was Today is the Day! Yesterday is gone, and we aren’t promised tomorrow, so today is what matters. Do I care about the future, yes of course, but why worry about things that may never come to pass and be held back from what I need to do today? Is this easy, absolutely not, I have to remind myself about Today a lot through out the day!

So to anyone of you that has taken time to read this, I appreciate you! Today is your day!

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you!
