61 of 100 ... Priorities

There was a point in my life when working on a Saturday was the norm ... and on a Sunday also.  I thought nothing of planning my weekend around continuation of the week.  I look back on my life then and realize that for all my good intentions, for all that I thought was good and right at the time, I wonder if there would have been a different way to do things, that would have brought about a different outcome.  And yet, for the product I wanted, I had to put that time in.  Which is, in a way, why I went to work this weekend as well.  I was not paid, I had no overtime, but because of the week I had, this one task never got done and it was urgent.  Urgent enough to give up weekend time to go in to get it done ... and I have to say, it was nice to be in the quiet to concentrate and get it done.  What was the cost?  this time, just under an hour.  In the big picture, I don't want to contemplate that.  How do you decide what is most important? Based on the cost? or based on something else?


Gratitude Moments for Saturday
1.  On Saturday, I was grateful that the task I had to do at work got done in less than an hour. I love when you have the time and can concentrate, interrupted, and the job gets done in minutes.  And it was done to my standard as well!
2.  On Saturday, I was grateful for getting to spend 2 hours walking around Heritage Park.  I know things will hurt, but it felt so good to do something! 
3.  On Saturday, I was grateful for the beautiful weather! When the sun was out (which was a lot of the time), it was so warm!  No need for a jacket!
4.  On Saturday, I was grateful that TK could spend some time with me.  I always enjoy spending time with her and sharing thoughts.  We talked about brain-mapping ... sometimes I wonder what something like that would show about me. 
5.  On Saturday, I was grateful to realize that I think the worst of my cold sore that I got this past week from stress is probably over.  I used a prescribed cream and it seemed to do the trick.  I do remember once someone gave me a bit of an essential oil (eucalyptus?) that worked wonders ... should check into that for next time.
