They say haste makes waste and that is true. Haste, in my
case, leads directly to an unscripted comedy routine and it starts with a few
diabolical distractions.
I get up early, at least two hours before I need to start
getting ready for work. These are the only hours in the day I have to sit alone
in the quiet. I use that time to read my devotions, enjoy a cup of coffee
(sometimes two) and write. Yet, this is also when I get into the most trouble.
Distractions, like rabbit trails, lead me further and further
into the forest and farther away from what I should be focusing on - getting ready for
work. In one heartbeat, I have two hours to putter. In the next I
have less than a half hour to pack my lunch, shower, dry my hair, put on my
make up and figure out what in the heck to wear that day. Breakfast? Well now
that will have to be toast and peanut butter in the car. I bet you can see where this was going a lot faster than I did.
