Getting Organized... and a tale of two frogs

I did it!! Yesterday, despite being tired, I did something that has been a goal of mine for a long time. I sat down and planned an entire week of meals, wrote out the shopping list and got all of the ingriedents for said meals!

I have been trying to get things more organized around here. Somedays I feel like I am just treading water and making no progress. But yesterday was definitely a BIG step in the right direction.

When I feel like all I am doing is treading water, I will remember a story I once heard somewhere. Two frogs fell into a bowl of cream and could not get out. They tried and tried to jump out but we unable to. One frog said to the other "It's useless, we are never going to get out of here." And he gave up, stopped trying and sank to the bottom and drowned in the cream.

The second frog kept trying and trying, and he tread in the cream all night long. By the morning, he had tread so much that he had made himself a blob of butter and sitting on his butter, was able to jump out of the cream.

So just for today, I am trying to be like the second frog....
