10 - Chaos to Order

The word was given - unemployed.  Benefits to last 3 weeks and then end.  What to do? Oh lord, where to start?  What to do first? update resume? send out resume? get meds? dr appointment?  what about the mess at home?  There's dishes and laundry and cleaning and cooking and ... and ... and ... Where to start? What to do? And the anxiety grew. And the confusion continued.  And this time is different than all the others.  And I don't know where to begin ...

squirrel ....

Today, I pause and breath ... I feel like I've been running in circles, getting some stuff done but not making a dent overall.  Spinning my wheels seems to be my action, with the occasional 'squirrel' thrown in for added loss. But what if I did pause?  What if I did get some pressing things done before moving forward in another area?  I cannot do everything at once, I cannot "multi-task" on everything and expect productive results. I need to stop running after everything, catch my breath and run after one thing at a time.  That's the only way I can bring this chaos to a stop and achieve the success I need to achieve.

I don't have order yet ... but the chaos has been put on hold.  A good place to start, right?

Day's Gratitude Moments
1/ I'm grateful today that I have time to make sense of this and move forward.
2/ I'm grateful today for the chance to go with KA to another movie - this one was not a best pic contender, though it is up for a few awards ... Mr. Turner ... a biopic of sorts, and very interesting!  You can tell that it didn't come from Hollywood!!
3/ I'm grateful today for, movie included, that I will be going to bed at a decent hour.
4/ I'm grateful today for the people who checked in on me.  I'm always grateful to know that I'm not alone and even though others are busy, they have taken a moment to let me know they're thinking of me.
5/ I'm grateful today for the where-with-all to identify my problem and set out the course to resolve it.  Let's see how long it takes to achieve it!
