M is for More Important

on sunday i said i wasn't looking forward to this week. that is true, but only if i put on blinders and focus only on work. there are certainly times when it is much too easy to focus on a possible disaster that way. i want to mull over every possible outcome. i want to believe it's going to be bad because being surprised by success is always better than being surprised by failure. but this is not my point today. my point today is that there are much more important things happening this week than work. yesterday, when i wanted to retreat into my own gloominess? that was both work related and erased when a conversation with a dear friend reminded me there were much more important things that needed my attention. people i love, for example? much more important than work. and spending time with those people? much more important than sleep. :)
