Have you ever had one of those days where it seems like everything is going backwards?   I just through with one of those days. I am sitting down at the table of my temporary home, and looking forward to writing this day “off the books” of my mind.  

 

Not that I am being negative, but, my point is…we all have those days. Sometimes, simply putting it all down on a screen helps us sort out the mishap and perhaps give us some meaning to the process of odd days. At least, that is what I am hoping.

 

Positive energy, in all forms, is an absolute must in this stage of my life. But, when the most simplistic things…like making a cup of coffee turn into a crime scene from CSI, I get to wondering. 

 

Perhaps it’s the stress of trying to find an apartment, juggling the hectic schedule, and still trying to ‘bring my game’ every day…but today I could not find the balance I can normally slide into by a simple change of mindset. So I did what I could do best.   I made it simple. 

 

I spent the day doing little things…like organizing personal and professional inventory. Making neatly quartered sections of tools I use on a daily basis…and just taking out the trash. It seemed to help immensely. 

 

So…my lesson today is: When things get frazzled and crazy…simplify. It does not matter how…just do it.   That way, at the end of the day, at least there is a genuine sense of accomplishment in the efforts of the day.
