So easy to get sidetracked. So easy to get lazy. So easy to grab a handful of this and that and not write it down. So easy to eat in a hurry. So easy to not even bother tasting and enjoying. So easy to eat distracted. So easy to say, oh bother, why bother?
I am sosoo like Winnie the Pooh: Oh bother! Give me the honey jar!
So hard to change patterns. So hard to pay attention. So hard to overcome inertia. So hard to stick to it, every day.
So that’s one reason I’m writing this post. To force myself to pay attention. To stay on track. To write things down. To slow down. To bother with it all. Yes, it is a bother. But the alternative is a bother too.
If I don’t at least try to stay healthy, I will eventually have to bother with illness and disability as I grow older. If I don’t bother to strengthen the feeble knees and legs and arms and core, I will lose muscle and strength and become a burden. I have to at least try to bother.
So today I am bothering with me. I am choosing “easy does it”. Nike says “Just do it”. “Just do it” is not all that easy. “Easy does it” is softer, but still does it.
The wisdom of scriptures says to be a doer of the word and not just a hearer. Doing things today. So easy. One moment at a time.
Blessings!
