Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/span>A friend of mine and I were talking recently about it in terms of always being too busy to do things we love and want to do. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the same day, I saw this on my Instagram feed\u00a0<\/span>\u201cAdulthood is saying\u00a0<\/em><\/span>\u2018But after this week things will slow down a bit\u2019\u00a0over and over until you die.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/span>I dropped most of the work tasks off of my to-do list to focus on my son\u2019s 16th birthday. <\/span><\/p>\n

This was something I couldn\u2019t put off. It was happening then and it would never happen again.\u00a0<\/span>And still, I didn\u2019t do one thing I wanted to do for him\u2026 There just wasn\u2019t enough time in my day. <\/span><\/p>\n

And yes, I did promise myself that \u201cI would still do it after this week\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span>What I wanted to do was create a memory book of all of the adventures he had with his dad\u2026 because both of us miss him terribly at this important time of Blais\u2019 life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we were leaving for his birthday dinner, a red robin flew near us and sat on the lowest branch in front of our house. (Someone had told me a red robin would always show up as a reminder of Matthew\u2019s spirit that\u2019s always near to us.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can imagine how much I wished he was here with us. And how painful it was thinking of all that he wouldn\u2019t be able to do with us. <\/span><\/p>\n

I could almost hear him say: \u201cWhen I get better, we will\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/span>There were so many times recently that I caught myself thinking, “Is this really important right now?”\u00a0<\/span>Making zucchini bread, watering the plants, having breakfast with Blais after getting his driver\u2019s license, sitting down with my boys, and just enjoying eating slowly. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the answer was “<\/span>Yes! Absolutely”<\/em>. Making zucchini bread is more important than cleaning\u00a0or doing work that truly can wait. (Ok, writing the newsletter couldn\u2019t wait, LOL)<\/span><\/p>\n

I also bought a ticket to go to Croatia to visit my mama next month, because I want to see her. I can probably wait until October, when I\u2019m going on a business trip to Croatia (a coaching retreat!!!) but then again, I also want to go now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I also spoke with a few people about patterns:\u00a0the patterns of repeated behaviors, or thought-cycles that keep us imprisoned in unpleasant situations.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Like saying \u201cAfter this week, things will slow down.\u201d And repeating the same busy schedule, keeping the same priorities instead of shifting them so something can actually change and allow us space to spend time on the things we want to be doing instead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or eating the same way and choosing foods that we know for sure will NOT help us lose weight, or feel healthier, and might trigger bad reactions such as migraines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or thinking the same thoughts, like\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI should just stay silent and not rock the boat\u201d.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0Or staying around those that leave us feeling defeated, humiliated, unworthy of love.<\/span><\/p>\n

In our book group, our facilitator, Kim, asked two questions I want to ask you:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. What is a pattern<\/strong>\u00a0or something you notice within you that you\u2019d like to release?
<\/span><\/p>\n

2. What would you like to bring in<\/strong>\u00a0more of, as you release that pattern?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now is a good time to release those patterns. Now is a good time to\u00a0start living fully in the present, without putting off things we really want to experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Because, you know, we only really have today. Tomorrow is always a day away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
