today and today and today...

It seems that most of my life I have been an all or nothing kind of person. When the perfectionist realities of doing it all became impossible as they inevitably do then the nothing mode set in. The all mode includes living a multitude of past and future days all at once expecting to cope with this impossible pile up of days. The nothing mode was just that—do nothing because nothing works. Today I resolve to be a something person instead. I might not achieve perfection but I can celebrate simple progress however small it may be. I may not be able to do it all but I CAN do something. I can do something positive for myself today and make it just for today. My something for today is to live today and not yesterday or tomorrow. I can quite capably live what’s in front of me right now accepting that that is enough.
