thoughtful thursday

this has been a week of the ever expanding, never ending to-do list (don't most weeks feel that way?).    it occurred to me sometime in the middle of it all today that, in addition to all the urgent tasks at hand, it's very important to include a few "tasks" that are not taxing.  and these should actually be written on the list or they will be overlooked.  take time for that cup of tea or sending an email or watching the birds or taking a short walk or whatever it is that is relaxing.  at the end of a day filled with the chores of the to-do list, the goal is to feel productive and accomplished, not harried and frazzled!
