Priorities.......

At the moment my life is full of priorities. My plate is overflowing. How is it that others appear effortless in life and while others are constantly floundering around?

Today I have prioritized. Today was a start date (I hope you are noticing I am focusing on today)and I awoke with a plan. Very simple steps to get through the day. It goes like this-

1. Correspondence- emails, Facebook, twitter
2. Clean house- blah!
3. Prepare for cottage cleaners-you're thinking why don't they clean my house?
4. Blog- doing well because here I am!
5. Exercise- I have to do it as I am planning on running the City to Surf.
6. Time with kids- they want to play tennis this afternoon.
7. Work on my book- I hope I can keep my eyes open by then lol

Of course, this is intermingled with the rest of my life which includes feeding and caring for my family plus running a business.

So is this going to work for me?

Will I be effortless or flounder?

I guess only time will tell :)

In My Daughter's Eyes

This song is so beautiful. I think it reflects the feelings of any mother and child.

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes
