Ramblings-n-Writings

Have you ever had one of those days? I think I’m having one of those weeks.

I live my life by to-do lists, goals, and schedules … to a certain point. I’m very flexible as far as when I do things, so I’m not a slave to the schedule like I know some people are.

Most of my lists and goals are stored inside my head or maybe on my iPod Touch (have I told you how much I love that thing?). I know I have certain things to do by a certain time, and I work towards finishing on time.

Then, one of those days happens. Everything I thought I’d accomplish for the day doesn’t happen. The Farmer wants to go somewhere. The computer goes bonkers. Dinner is still in the freezer at 5 p.m. I don’t write a single word, my e-mail inbox is exploding, and housecleaning is out of the question.

Well, I’ve had a whole string of those days. The simplest tasks seem to get thrown out of proportion by some mini-disaster happening.

I keep telling myself that life will go back to normal soon, but I wonder if this is the new normal? Ack! Then I remember …

It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
