“Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.”   - Corrie Ten Boom

That's basically how I've been living my life, or at least trying to.  The past is safely in the past; the good remembered fondly, the bad tucked away, and both learned from but unable to be relived.  All the tomorrows are uncertainties which cannot ( Read more... )

I'm thinking I need to start doing some of the FlyLady stuff again.  Start doing certain things in 15 minute increments in the evenings... like I hope to dedicate 15 minutes to each major room of my apartment, which would really equal only 1 hour of work.  Baby steps can be useful though, even if only to get a bit of progress and motivation.
