productivity.

the goal is to find a task,

a really important good task,

that requires your full attention

and follow that task to completion!

don't get caught up in multi-tasking

or the 'smoke and mirrors' of busy.

Part of cultivating a good life

is knowing that no matter what happens today,

you have control of your outlook + attitude.

-Becky Higgins

I started the day behind. that's what happens when you wake up late. we signed the birthday cards that had to go in the mail today, ate a quick breakfast, then sped off to school. when I returned home, mark's cell phone was laying on the kitchen table...I called to see if he needed it delivered. this is a bit of our conversation:

"No, I can do without it today. How's your day going?"

"I'm going to Christine's to scrap my recipe book. I wish I could enjoy it. I feel like I should just stay home; I've got too much to do."

"Well, being negative about it should help, so do that."

and then this wise husband of whom I speak, sent me this sweet message later in the day:

"hey sweet, not sure where you are at the moment,

but hope you are in the moment wherever you are."

He keeps me looking for daily bright spots; today it's the creative time that started my Recipe Album. I hope you have someone who keeps you looking for bright spots. Happy Weekend Friends!!
