“Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength- carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.”
~ Corrie ten Boom, author ‘The Hiding Place’
For me, this involved running errands. As I looked at the list of things that were making me blue, the things hanging over my head, I knew that getting my errands done would then offer me 3 days before leaving to return to creative work. Almost like a mini vacation at home.
And guess what? Running errands wasn’t so bad. Traffic was horrible and lines were long. I was patient, and each clerk thanked me for my patience. People smiled at me and chatted with me where ever I went. I made the most out of it. It was nice to get out of the house.
Do you have some things that you’ve been putting off? Get them done today. I promise, you’ll feel better, and it probably won’t be as bad as it may seem. Put your strength into today. It will give you a fresh start for tomorrow and one less thing to worry about. ❤
