Forgot

Dear Friends,

As I was driving to see a client at 7:40 this morning, I suddenly realized I didn’t write or set up an email to send out this week…I completely forgot, it totally slipped my mind until this morning when it was too late to schedule and send out at 8am when I normally send it.

I chuckled about forgetting because, well, sometimes we just forget, right?

But, as I drove, admiring the various redbuds and (my favorite) puffball cherry trees in bloom on my way, I also realized that I had recently changed my schedule, and the time that I used to have set aside for my weekly email was no longer available to me.

So, after 5 ½ years of writing an email to you all faithfully every week, I changed one thing about my week and completely forgot…because I hadn’t set any time aside to write said email.

I didn’t judge myself for forgetting an email, that’s life sometimes…we can’t do everything right all the time.  But also, I did recognize that I, once more, need to set aside time in my week for a task that I value, that I want to accomplish…because without that time set to the side clearly that task is easy to forget.

My dear friend, I hope we all can be a little more gentle with ourselves when we inevitably fail or forget a task at hand…because we all do and will.  And yet,  I also hope we can look at our own lives and figure out ways we can help ourselves accomplish those things we want to accomplish with a little more ease.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista
