Is today the tomorrow you expected yesterday?

Even with the best intentions and a fresh desk calendar, time slips pass without my permission.  What I want to do, what I have to do, what I need to do and what I actually attempt to do are not always the same lists.  Dutifully, at the end of (most) days, I move my list of intentions to the next day’s page.  My repetitive attempts at lists and reminders at least keep me aware of intentions before they slip away, out of sight and out of mind.  Yet, here I am on another beautiful Sunday.

Is tomorrow the future you want to be planning today?  Why not give it a shot?  What can you do today to be one step closer to the future you really want?  Lists are laughed at, but they do make an idea real in the sense you can see it, read it, revise it and come back to it.  Lists do not have to be reasonable.  Mine contains realistic entries and ambitious fantasies, but why not?  It is my list after all, so I can put what I want.

Today, I have general maintenance tasks, like laundry, dusting, decluttering, but I also have grand listings, like discover a million-dollar idea, create works of art and replace my bathtub.  Realistically, I am going to be at my desk working on business (I do the management of our family’s business from my desk here) and cheering on the Houston Texans’ attempt at winning a football playoff game.  Odds are good for the business work and maybe some laundry, but bathroom renovations are highly unlikely.  Any million-dollar inspirations will be left to serendipity.

Time will tell.
