The countdown continues and now I find myself looking at my to-do list and wondering how it is all going to get done in the next week. It seems like I shouldn't have this much to get accomplished since I have known about this for a month but the fact is many of the things couldn't be done until the last minute.
So here I am looking at my list and I realize that one of the reasons I am having such a hard time is because I have been trying to schedule time with friends and family since I may not be very sociable for a while. Now my to-do list starts to take on a new perspective. What is more important? Cleaning my house or spending time with the people I love?
Well that's a no-brainer, huh? Sometimes we get so wrapped up what others deem important that we forget to ask ourselves what we think is most important. Will it bother me if my house is not clean while I am laid up in bed? The honest answer is yes but it would bother me a whole lot more if I didn't have memories to focus on.
Of all the lessons I've learned these past few weeks, I think this might be the most significant. Relationships trump stuff every time.
Amen to that one!! Priorities are so important! Thanks for the reminder that "relationships trump stuff every time!"
