making everyday decisions
I've been thinking a lot lately about living life to the fullest.
Today I was anticipating my first really big shipment of plants to arrive.
I figured I'd spend most of my day in the greenhouse.
So I left my lappy at home along with all the info I'm putting together for our register books.
FedEx didn't drop any boxes for me today.
I decided to take off around 2:30 and head home to take care of some computer work.
Once home I got a little side tracked with the dishes needed to be loaded and started,
the boys needed to be let out and loved on,
removing my nail polish and trimming my nails,
taking a moment for myself on the internet,
and as I was getting ready to buckle back down for work,
Mitch texted and asked that I start laundry so he'd have some work clothes.
I agreed and sorted the laundry only to realize that all his work clothes were hanging on the closet door waiting to be ironed.
In that moment I thought about getting back to work...
or I could focus on spending time being a wife and ironing the long awaited pile of dress shirts.
I opted for being wife.
Work is important.
I enjoy it most days.
But my life is by far the most important thing of all.
It is so easy to get caught up in the tasks of everyday life and before you know it time has passed you by.
I want to be living life intentionally.
what are you doing to live your life intentionally??

Oh, yea, living life intentionally--on purpose. So important or life does just slip on by.
One of the best ways to do this is to set goals--even small ones, written down. It keeps us focused on what matters most.
Love ya,
