I think I can do that. The hard part will be not feeling bad about it. However, every time I see these sunflowers it will be a reminder. After years of intending to plant sunflowers, I've finally done it. I hope we both have great results with them this year.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6315851262843522940.post-47822834566649830152017-06-07T19:36:32.914-04:002017-06-07T19:36:32.914-04:00We tried to emphasize to our sons that bosses were...We tried to emphasize to our sons that bosses were interested in results when they were younger and not always completing things.

I was doing some yard work a couple of weeks ago and got lost in focusing on speed and discomfort. Then I started finding those pupae and worms and pill bugs and focused on them. Made things go much better for me. I try to appreciate those little things as much as possible. The smell of vanilla during baking or waves of heat while I cook. :o) Posts like this help remind me to back off a little bit too!

It seems like I fall in the either/or category--either I am hyper-productive or I am able to totally kick back and relax--it's hard for me when life falls in the gray areas like what you mentioned. Good reminder to stop and smell the roses! I also tend to overestimate how much I can accomplish in a given time--maybe that's true of all of us who fall into this category. :)Krisnoreply@blogger.com
