"Life is just a lot of loose ends."

There are days I feel energized and creative and I think about what I want to do the next day - but the next day there is something more important that I need to do, so the ideas just get pushed aside. We all have those chores we need to do, calls we need to make, naps we should take. I often let it get me down when I think about the things I don't do.  Then I realize that for the most part I am the only one who has these expectations of me. I am the only one who is disappointed and frustrated. These are just loose ends. Everyone has them. I want to bake and sew. I want to write - not the next great novel, just something that pleases me. When you think about the fact that none of us knows what each day will bring it becomes apparent that there will always be loose ends. We create them ourselves and only we can learn to tie the knots. I'm trying to be content with slip knots.
