Salutations! My name is Charlotte and I’m a spider. OK that isn’t true but can anyone else not say or hear “salutations” without immediately being transported back to that film? Not I.
My intention today is to extol the finery of a very simplistic device. Something it took me years to finally admit to possessing virtue. In my pseudo-arrogance I fallaciously believed in my ability to instantly recall any or all information salient to my life. The list is growing rather long but let’s draw another tick in the loss column.:)
Titled, “Calendar”, April 13, 2018.
We have so much in the air
Can be hard to track all’s there
Jugglers handle swords and balls
Likely trouble if one falls
Same applies to us as well
One mistake can bring forth hell
Take some time to order things
Well reasoned thought great joy brings.
Incidentally, I’m just now recalling misspelling “calendar” in a primary school spelling bee so I could go out for recess. At least that instance of self-sabotage had clearly defined parameters…
I am all about planning now these days whereas the very notion used to offend me. I consider my time as being valuable and would much rather use a bit to prepare than waste a significant amount later on. Your time is also extremely precious. In fact, you can make up for losing just about anything except. Guard your time wisely, when you consider it for a moment, it’s all we really have.
Last thought, I’m not saying wasting time IS a waste of time. I love doing “nothing”, it’s when I come up with some of my best ideas.
Thank you all again so very much for taking the time to visit. Please enjoy a truly exceptional afternoon!
