I almost didn’t write today.
I left the house in a minor rush and discombobulated. I never paused to complete my morning ritual. There was call. There was coffee (kind of, because the boys spilled it) and then the writing was overlooked. Story of my life in a sense. This thing that is central to my identity and my soul is the thing that is overlooked most of all. I call that poor prioritization.
Here is something else I’ve noticed: I don’t ever put me first. When I try to I don’t even know what that means–I don’t know what I want outside of my partner, my kids, and a place that feels like mine. Health ought to be high on that list. It isn’t. It won’t be until I find a routine that demands I consider my health an asset and a necessary part of my continued existence. When the physical therapist exposed some key points of body weakness it did not convince me at all to start working out. In fact it only swam around in my thoughts for a little while before dipping back down into the deep end of the backburner. What’s on the front? Whatever crosses my cheek, I suppose. Lately that has been football. In fact, I almost paused my writing just now to look up a coaching video. Assume that I will look it up after I post.
I’ll be posting pretty soon here, because ten has trickled down to less than one and the end is nigh.
Some Thoughts:
- Game Two of the Youth season is tomorrow. It is a big game for my team because we had a tough week and a tough loss. We could use the confidence builder win. I am sure our opponents feel the same way.
