How are you preparing?

Picking up supplies was hectic, but worthwhile. I’m glad my go kit is ready to hit the road.

What are you doing to prepare for the hurricane?

Words

Do I confuse speaking with being heard?

When I communicate, am I giving or taking from the receiver?

Running

The gentle breeze brushed up on my neck and arms, and I was reminded, “This is not the end.”

The breeze picked up and started pushing up against me as I rounded the corner, and I was reminded, “You’ve got more.”

Are you prepared?

One Option

Setting goals and following through on them requires making tough decisions, sometimes leading to a painful, irksome or uncomfortable end. But always for the better.

Do I choose to engage the difficult and say yes?

Do I eat, sleep or spend time being quiet by SOAPing? I left no margin to do all three. It is not in the crazy big choices that become the issue, it is in the daily, moment to moment choices that are so easy to write off as no big deal. And as we all know, the cumulative yes, makes all the difference.

Regardless, I am faced with but one choice to live out. There is no juggling, no multi-tasking, no squeezing in. My choice just is. And so I have to live with it, to embrace it.

And so I start over again and choose again for tomorrow.
