What if............

"Only a life lived for others is worth living”

Albert Einstein

I'm sitting here in the newly configured family room, sipping my first cup of coffee this morning and pondering what I can accomplish today.

As I look around the room, there are a million and one things that are on the to-do list.

None of them are urgent.

There is nothing that can't wait until another time.

And it's not as if I have nothing on my plate for the day.

The new dishwasher is being delivered this morning.

I am waiting on the contractor to do a wrap up meeting.

I have a meeting with my accountant at noon.

Sara's dogs need to be let out as well.

I am waiting on a call from a business associate sometime this afternoon.

And then there is some shopping for dor and the preparation of dinner for tonight.

So what if I choose to not add anything else to my seemingly short list of tasks for the day?

What if I actually put off until tomorrow something that could get accomplished today?

Would the Earth stop spinning?

Would my life fall apart?

Could I live with the idea that my day isn't completely overwhelmed with chores that need tending to?

Probably.

There is that not so little voice inside of me that is screaming right about now "are you kidding me?".

What if I ignore it?

Why is it that I feel that I have to justify not adding to my work load for the day?

The concept of just letting go is very unsettling to me.

So what if I feel unsettled?

I guess we'll see by the end of the day!

Shabbat Shalom!
