pas de focus

[chelidon]

My focus today is nada, zero, zilch. I've got deadlines piling up around me like needy beggars, and I can't seem to focus well on any of them. Hmmph. It doesn't help that today is a postcard-perfect late Spring day outside, bringing unruly springtime thoughts, and what I really want to do is go romp, swim in the clear, cold stream and forget about all the many weary cares of the world.

So, at times like this, what seems to help is to step back, and bite off a tiny piece, look at one small thing at a time, and let the others go for now. What most needs to get done right this instant, in this small, brief, precious moment? I can do that for five minutes. Just five minutes. Then we'll see.

Romping sounds good... ;>

Good for you for letting those things go, sticky though they may be.

How about reflecting upon how much you're loved, and upon how many things and people in your life *are* worthwhile?

And dammit - take that walk! :>

See you tonight - love you.

Perhaps if you went outside to enjoy the weather (instead of fighting against it), you may be inspired.

Warm Sunshiney Love,

That's the way out of the trap, for sure, but why is it so hard to go take it, eh? ;> Thanks, and good warm sunny love to you, too!

The clear, cold stream sounds lovely.

hugs back to you, m'dear, and I hope we can get a chance to see one another sometime soon! I know your schedule is insane, and we're entering the medical month here at the Casa soon, but I'd love to hang out and chat, maybe plant some more trees...

By the looks of it, I'm going to be in class most weekdays and working most weekends between now and the end of August, at which time the fall semester starts ... so, yeah. I'll have free time around ... Thanksgiving. :(

But who knows, maybe we could squeeze something in. I'd love to see you guys. I'll be thinking of you LOTS during medical month.

Thanks -- all of the "fun" starts on the 16th..well, F has his baseline ECG and EKG, etc today, so I suppose it's already started, but it really starts in about 2 weeks. I'd love to see you anytime -- if you get a gap in there and you'd like to escape nawthwards, lemme know!
