Can you hear him laughing?

Barb told me a quote the other day, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans"

Each day I try to get up with a new perspective on life- to be realistic in what can be accomplished. The days of daily list making and crossing are over. Only to realize that today, maybe, one thing gets done. And, thats a good day when it does.

I just found the list I made last night for today. Confirmation I have not embraced my own new perspective!

- Call 3 people at work to discuss this deadline (realization this is about a 2 hr task)
- Change Breck's dr appt (done!)
- Call Alaska Airlines about getting Breck a seat (I keep thinking about it)
- Buy dog food (Ballard is so far, and with Breck how do I carry both to the car)
- Pick up paint samples (ok, dreaming)
- Buy diapers & coffee (I'll pay for this tomorrow at 6am, better yet, send Dave)
- Write and send my new work contract (sadly, this will be done as an afterthought)
- Download and then upload Quicken (maybe next month!)
- Work on the new biz pitch (got in an hour, will do more between 6-10 tonight)
- Yoga (class as the wrong time)

Well, the day is half done and one thing checked. If I listen closely I can hear him laughing.

Best quote I have heard! You are an amazing Mom and you little one shines the light and love that you have given him!
