doing not getting done

crocheting on the comfy chair

I’m trying to focus on the doing instead of the getting done these days. Yes, my list is long and wow, it is not long until christmas, but if I actually do what I am doing instead of thinking about the next thing, then the tasks suddenly become enjoyable. And oddly I find I have more time. Time to sit in the comfy chair and crochet a little pink hat, for a little cold head that needs it.

    Excellent advice, to stop looking ahead. Thank you. I have been trying to do just that this year and reminders are always welcome.
