Day 2- Shifting Priorities

Ever wake up and have a plan for your day and then have it shift because of priorities? This happened to me today. It was more personal priorities than professional which really puts things into perspective.

I work from home on Tuesdays (which is fantastic)so, I had my list of work items I needed to get done and then when I needed a little break in the work action, I was going to contact anyone that I knew to get pine straw. Pine straw is scarce this year (which I heard from a seller today on the phone)because of the new immigration laws. (stick with me here...this isn't going to get political). They can't get the workers in South Georgia to rake the pine straw and make them into bales like they normally do, so this causes a huge supply and demand and the bales are scarce and the prices crazy (learned that one from Mr. Burns...). Well, I was having a high pucker factor for pine straw because I had already been stood up twice by guys that said they would deliver and install and they didn't show up last week or didn't call me back today to install. But....during my lunch break, I found pine straw, had it delivered and that task was checked off my list.

But in the big scope of things, as much as this was a priority for me today, it really didn't matter as the day went on. I have two very dear friends that need uplifting. One is recovering from cancer and is on the mend, and the other is in the hospital with pneumonia and a minor blood clot in his lung. All I could think about was these two folks all day today. It really weighed heavy on my mind and really put a lot of things in perspective. Who gives a rats ass if I have pine straw? So what if I don't finish a training agenda for work today? I can always finish it tomorrow. Whoopie-do that I am doing a 28 cleanse. These things in the big picture are minimal to what these two are going through. My thoughts and prayers go out to these two and hoping for better, healthier days ahead of them.

Now...not to be a all serious in today's blog...I did have 2 Pinterest recipes that rocked my world today. Both are on my page, so feel free to check these out. One is a recipe for chicken (leftovers), avocado, lime juice, cilantro and pepper (no salt). It was delish!! No mayo and a lot better for you. The other was dinner tonight: Dijon Mustard Thighs grilled with couscous and sliced tomatoes for a side. I'm telling you, this recipe was off the chain!!! Great flavor and very filling.

So as I close for today, my leg workout that I did yesterday, combined with my cardio workout this AM and then moving 100 bales of pine straw to the backyard this afternoon has this ol bag sore and pooped. I see a hot tub session in my near future. Until tomorrow- peace out.
