I have learned that one cannot do everything.  The mind will always be able to conceive of so much more then any day or any person can accomplish.  For some reason I have not made that so firm for me before.  But it came to me this morning:  'you can't do it all.'  Then I wrote:  "in fact, finding and doing the BEST is a major part of the test.  And in that pursuit most of the opposition is distraction.  I used to say that availability is the greatest ability.  Now I think that over coming distraction is one of the greatest abilities or talents that we need to develop. So I tried to determine what I could get done today and then figure what could be orchestrated into the 24 hours of this Saturday, May 19.  Of course I was distracted.  But I planned on that and actually tried to choose the distractions that would fit the bigger game plan for the day.  Tasks big and small were considered and I just plunged in and started working my way through the day.  Being a Saturday I looked to balance some work and some play.  I did make progress, mostly with smaller tasks, but I am now in a good spot as to Monday morning when my next work week will start.  Now I see an even bigger challenge: how do I apply my new idea and plan to a Sunday?  Being Sunday the distractions become more serious because of what Sunday demands of me.  I hope for similar success for tomorrow as I had today, just Sabbath day success.
