"Today was like a shadow. It lurked behind me. It's now gone forever. Why is it that time is such a difficult thing to befriend?" ~ Mary Casey. Describe the shadow of yesterday... what is gone forever?

Oh Gees.  Welcome to my world.
The shadow of yesterday is everpresent and all gone, forever.  At the same time, it seems.  I am acutely aware of this.

The universe brought this prompt to me this morning as a pointed reminder.  I need to quit looking back so much of the time and face forward.    In my inner world, I spend too much of this thing called time considering and rehashing the past.  It is what it is. Now what? 

Like most everyone I know, Time also challenges me -- how I choose to "spend" it, what I actually choose to do.  Yesterday I renewed my relationship with my on-line To Do list, ToodleDo, by starting the exercise of adding estimated times each task would take and due dates.  A difficult and valuable endeavor.  Because, of course, there are more things to do than time in the day.  It assists me in seeing this clearer so I can further refine the list with the intention of putting my energy into what is important.  And allows me to be fully conscious when I actually choose not to.
