Today was a great day in many respects. The walk to work was cool, with a little light rain now and then, but altogether pleasant. For most of the day it rained, sometimes quite hard, but I was inside and warm and could enjoy watching the rain and hearing it pelt against the window.
My challenge today was managing a to-do list that was burgeoning with things needing to be done before I leave on Friday for a little over a week. Over and over, I had to pull myself back from the frenzy of it all, select a thing or two to do, and focus on accomplishing them.
Then I'd find myself pulled off in a different direction, remembering something else that should have been on the list but wasn't, and circling back to the tasks at hand.
By day's end, I'd accomplished quite a lot, though I hadn't felt as calm and collected as I would have liked. Much better, though, than vanishing down the drain of chaos and getting little or nothing done.
After work, the rain over and sky clearing, I rode the train to Takoma Park for a vigorous yoga class that put a nice, focused conclusion on a somewhat scattered day.
