THURSDAY THOUGHT 4/10/08

Some mornings I can wake up and hear a train chugging through my head: Gotta do!  Gotta do!  Gotta do!  Deadlines!  Phone calls.  Gotta do!  Gotta do!  Projects!  Meetings! Errands to run!  Gotta do!  Gotta do!  Gotta do!
 
And then, if I am fortunate enough to recognize I am on the train to Chaos City (that’s just two stops before Perdition), I pull the emergency brake, get off, and find a quiet lane to stroll down in my mind, reminding myself: I can only do the best I can and leave the rest in God’s hands.
 
Sure, put in a good, muscle-flexing day today.  But slow it down and try to enjoy the trip. — jri
