The 20th Day of Christmas Joy

The Sense of Accomplishment

It has been awhile, but just the other day it happened again and I realized how much joy it brings me.

I got up, got busy attacking my “to do” list and completely resisted the urge to sit at the computer to check email & Facebook...you know all the things that are distracting and can be a time waster if I am not careful.

I was just barely scratching the surface of my list when I realized the mere act of checking off 2 or 3 items, provided some serious momentum. Keep in mind, my ‘to do” list was not bursting with a bunch of fun things that I could hardly wait to do. It was the typical life chores like laundry, cleaning bathrooms, grocery shopping/Christmas shopping etc…. Not a fun list for sure!

Anyway, by the end of the day, I was amazed at how much energy I had. I realized that it was this sense of accomplishment that provided me with so much

JOY!
