I didn’t get to post this yesterday because I spent the day at my mom’s house, helping my sister with a yard sale. I took my 30 Day Journal along and scribbled some notes, but I was pretty overheated and tired (it was a typical humid, Southern day) from helping move heavy tables and totes and just being outside. I didn’t even think about getting on my computer when I got home. I just took a cold shower and chilled with the hubster for the evening.
It is interesting that Day 8’s prompt was about thinking about what would be possible if you were living each day as your character. I often think and plan to do things that my ideal character might do. When the time comes to do those things, though, I notice that is where I drag my feet and become a whiny little adult.
Of course, when I make myself do what I need to do, it usually isn’t as bad as I think it might be.
For instance, I like helping my family members out, but as we got closer to this yard sale, I was kinda hoping something would come up where we would have to postpone it. Turns out, lots of things didn’t go as planned, but we did it, had a few laughs, and… we plan to have another one sometime soon since my sister has lots of things in storage that she no longer needs or uses and she’s finally ready to let go.
I suppose we could all do with a little letting go of things that we no longer need or use.
