Just do it Already

The other day I was reading the writings of my first years of a blogger. Some were amusing, some were down right terrible and frankly most of them had a writing style that just sounded ordinary and like most everyone elses writing style. Not that everyone else's writing style is wrong, but it is wrong to be like everyone else.

I'm a writer. I'm also person unlike any other person in the world. True I've met the people who do strange quirky things in their brain and have a sense of humor remarkable like mine, but still these people are not exactly like me. Which of course is a very good thing because the world can only handle one "me".

It's time to write more which means I will be writing about whatever is on my brain. Perhaps it will make you think. I hope it will make you laugh at loud and above all that my writing will glorify God.

All that aside here comes today's post.

Wind is blowing hard outside me window and my feet are like ice that of course is my own fault for not wearing socks, but in my limited knowledge of fashion ankle socks and skirts really don't go together.

Today I have e-mailed my mother. And I have done....well lets see I have done pretty much nothing. Except for of course literally rising before dawn to feed the school breakfast.

Does it count that I've thought about doing lots of things? Really if all the things that were swimming around in my brain would have manifested themselves in real life I probably would look like a super woman right now.

Unfortunately while thinking is very good it accomplishes little unless acted upon, so there is little crossed off my to do list.

There in lays the problem. I didn't make a to do list for today. You know what they say "aim at nothing and you will accomplish just that" or something along those lines.

Right now I could insert a discourse on how to have a highly effective day, but I'm the wrong person to write on that subject.

Instead my advice to myself and whom ever else read this is...

"do the next thing".

Simply do it. If only for half an hour. Even if its the tiniest and maybe not very important task. Just do it, because personally I feel better if I have done something. For some people that some people maybe be simply rising out of bed and getting dressed, but at least you have done something.

Something Ideas

Text a Bible verse to someone
Write a note to someone
Clean off a surface
Fix your hair
Read your Bible
Make a to do list
Make someone their favorite cookies
Say Thank you

I realize that I just sounded like one of those motivational mom blogs, not that those are wrong, but I'm just not a mom so I really don't feel I should equate myself with the league of those who have far more on their plates then myself. Anyway all that to say that sometimes no matter the season of your life sometimes you me need the reminder to just do something.

My something is uh going to be eating lunch. Just being completely honest with you, but after that is 30 minutes of work on my photo book.
