I Need a Do Over This Morning

My Facebook status today? "I need a do over this morning."

It's late afternoon and this feeling is still bubbling up within me. So much so, that I felt that I needed to pause for 5 minutes. The truth is that I have gotten a lot done today, but on a normal day, I would have gotten twice the amount done. And since I am a true planner and my day is measured by the amount of items I have checked off my list, I am left still wanting.

We all have days like this don't we? We don't have to begin the day in crisis. Hear me, nothing drastic happened. It just began in tiredness, wanting to savor more time asleep. A groggy morning that I never seemed to find my footing. At one point, I made the journey to Starbucks with the hopes to salvage the day. I left with the coffee but I also left with the stench of dog poop, courtesy of stepping into a present that an owner was too lazy to pick up.

So, as I sit here for five minutes trying to gain the energy and perspective to take the next step forward, I find myself not knowing where that will come from, but grateful that I start each day fresh. And perhaps in this thinking, I channel my inner southern girl/ aka Scarlett O'Hara attitude of saving it for another day. But maybe, I just am resting in a scrumptious promise from my heavenly daddy and knowledge that I can really take that deep breath, because He truly does have this. All of it.
