I remember the summer when I was about ten. I was building a tree house. It wasn’t really a tree house, because the trees we had were too tall to get up into. Instead of building in a tree, I created long legs and just built a big box about six feet off the ground using the wood from an old outhouse. (yes, I even used the door, and it had a moon cut out of it) I would lie in bed each night and plan what I was going to do the next day to make it better. Inevitably my parents would give me an extra task to do on the farm, and by the time I was able to get to my project, I would not have enough time to accomplish my all grand plans. This disappointed me over and over again until I started to let it go and realize I could not change things that were not under my control. I now realize that my daily habits as an adult started way back then, as a result of not having free reign to do what I wanted with my summer time. I then started lying in bed reviewing what I had accomplished that day, and planning the next day based on what I thought could reasonably be done. I also reviewed my use of time and tried to limit or budget the amount of time I’d spend daydreaming or goofing off.

Relax, and let go. I feel good in my heart at the end of each day, if I can honestly say I did the best I could with what was thrown at me. Who knows where you will end the day, but typically the day seems to be better if you start it with a good plan, and reasonable goals, being open to whatever the outcome may be, and use your time wisely.
