But
First... A Haiku
I would do what I
Need do, but first must do what
I needed done first.

So
much confusion this last month, and once again the world is at war. Seems like
the conflicts will never end.
That
includes the conflicts within myself. My mind is reeling with all the things I
need to do and all the things I want to do. And figuring out which to do first.
But
first, I made a list of both sets of things. Then I found an old list from a
couple of years ago. Guess what I found – yep! There’s still some of the same
stuff on the new list. Shame on me. On second thought – no, I’m doing the best
I can, or so I tell myself. And I’m the author of it all. Confused yet? I am.
Of
course, I should be the author of a lot more. And I will be as soon as I finish
getting my act together. Which is no small task for a woman turning the big 8 –
0 this month.
But I
will persist. I know we only have the right to the pursuit of happiness, but a
little attainment once in a while would be appreciated.
Okay,
that’s what I’ll shoot for - attainment! I will attain my goals while
maintaining my sanity. Again no small task. But the thought is putting a smile
on my face.
But
first I need to do the things that need to be done before I I can do the things
I want to do.
Life
seems to keep intruding on my writing time.Gotta figure out how to come to
terms with life and writing. Gotta find time for both.
Until
I figure it out, I can make no promises except that I will keep working on both
as best I can.
Now
I’m more confused than when I started this. But I’m still smiling, and that
makes all the difference in the world. There is energy in a smile.
So, I
will pray for peace in the world and take care of what needs taking care of.
And I will make certain that includes my writing.

It’s now November and the
year is coming to an end. I would have some attainment before it ends. Wish me
luck!
