Fawlty Showers 2

Just For Today

When I got back to my office I put DD the bunny on my lap.?I wrote out a long, detailed 2Do list. It depressed me to no end.

“This list is weighing on me before I even start,” I said to DD.?I crumpled it up and threw it away.

Across the top of a new sheet of paper I wrote ‘What I Got Done Today.’?

At the end of the day I hadn’t finished everything on the original list, but I was happy with what I’d accomplished.

“Sometimes it’s just a matter of adjusting the way you think about something,” I said to DD as I put him in his cage for the night.

DD hated clichés, but I hit him with one anyway.

“It’s like thinking about doing without something for the rest of your life versus avoiding it one day at a time. You’re happier at the end of one day if you don’t worry about the next.”

?

Today I will focus just on today.
