TWO DAYS IN A ROW

I'm taking it one day at a time - I can definitely recommit to daily writing.

I like to do my very best at everything I do. I don't think that means that I have to be the absolute best - there are a lot of people out there who do a lot of things really well. I don't see any point in aiming to be better than others. But I do like to be the best me I can be.

I'm currently feeling a bit too overwhelmed to actually be the best I can be. I'm letting tasks slide off the side of my plate, like a slippery, vinaigrette covered cherry tomato. STOP SLIPPING AROUND AND GET ON MY FORK, DAMN IT!

But maybe what I am doing is the best I can do under the circumstances. We don't have enough help to get through this time at the top of our game. We are all working at least 10 hour days, often more like 12-14 hour days. None of us has had more than one day off a week for the past three weeks - some of us haven't even had that. We're all letting those damn tomatoes fall off our plates.

So maybe this is the best I can be right now. And I should just live in that moment and be that best.

Good, Better, Best. Never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is your best.
