One Day At A Time

I think I might overwhelm myself when I try to take in too much at a time.  Thinking about how I'm going to work to stay on plan next weekend really has nothing to do with my life today.  The more I think about it, the more likely I am to get distracted from what I'm trying to accomplish right now.  There is something to be said for planning ahead, but there's a difference between advance preparation and advance worrying/deliberating/anticipating.  It was important to think about the next few days to determine when I would go to the grocery store, but I separate that from the type of planning that gets to be overwhelming.  So here's to trying to keep things in perspective - I can only do so much in a given day, I can only handle so much at a time.  I guess it all comes back to my goal of "practicing patience" and allowing for things to happen when they will.

"Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."
