I don't know if any of you are anything like me, but there are times when I feel torn and confused. Confused between what I want to do and what I actually do.
There are times, in all well-meaning, I want to do something right. For example, I want to be early for a certain appointment. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, I get late. Because I spent a few more minutes sleeping after the alarm went off. Then I took a little longer to take a bath, because I was enjoying the warmth of the water. By the time I'm out of the house, I'm ten minutes late, but I console myself that the car I'll use will make up for lost time.
But I run into traffic, and things move from bad to worse. It takes much, much, longer than I'd anticipated. By the time I get to the appointment, I look like a person who has no clue what time is.
Or when I want to clean the house by a certain time. But as I clean, I see an irresistible article in a magazine, and sit down to read. "It'll only take a few seconds", I tell myself. After I'm done reading, I continue with the cleaning, and then hunger creeps in. I look in the fridge, pick up something and warm it. I sit to eat, thinking, "A few minutes of eating won't hurt, will it?" By the time I'm done, I'm way behind my schedule.
And such is my life. A constant war between what I want to do and what I really do.
