Morning's Light

lazy sunday, originally uploaded by perfectbound.

The sun is out. I worked out this morning at 5:45 AM yet cannot wake up. *yawn*

perhaps drinking extra water today will help.

had a quiet night last night. watched some shows that I've delayed watching from May (CSI:NY, New Adventures of Old Christine, and even the American Idol last night of competition before the finale). also cooked dinner (goulash) and baked (vanilla-chocolate chip – peanut butter muffins).

Without a regularly scheduled weeknight as a youth group leader this summer, I have more time…but haven't done a thing with it. No closet organization, no museums visited. Perhaps it's time to make a summer list of projects for fun and to accomplish around home.

There's this thing called perfection.  I get paralyzed by it.  Instead of slowly making progress 15 minutes at a time – on a huge closet where I've pulled everything out and dumped it on my bedroom floor – I've stared at the mess, thought about it, wished it would go away, but have done nothing about it for a month..because you know, if I can't do it perfectly, I can't do it at all.  I know that's my thinking and am trying to realize that doing something – ANYTHING – would kick the perfectionism to the curb and get something going on the closet.  

This happens at work as well… getting paralyzed by too much to do…and then finally realizing that doing something – anything at all – is better than nothing….so I pick up one piece of paper and handle it…before moving on to the next.
