Life without resolutions
Just three days into my project I am learning that finding the fascinating in my everyday may not be a challenge. Instead it will be finding the time for reflection.
Today is a perfect example of this dilemma.
This morning I woke up to a half dozen emails that all required immediate responses, needed to set up two meetings, had a model cancel for a photo shoot and rescheduled another shoot. All before a single cup of coffee, let alone quite time with my Bible. By the time my 10am class rolled around I was already thinking of when I could fit a nap in my hectic afternoon schedule.
After a day's worth of checking items off my to-do list my mind was in a haze. Sitting at my desk more than 13 hours after having gotten up I have little interest in tackling the homework that lies ahead of me, the emails that are filling up my inbox or the text list on my phone screen. What sounds good is sleep.
Today has shown me is that if I am going to thrive I need a dose of intentionality.
Tomorrow my alarm will go off a little earlier so that before emails and texts are responded to I will have spent some quality time with the Lord. Then somewhere amonst my attempts at productivity I will make time to better reflect on the day's journey.
Here's hoping this will actually happen.
