There is a word, and it is a big word, and ooh, let me look over there, and oh did I mention a big word, and ooh, what is that, and oh yea, what was I talking about. Oh yes, the big p. Oh is that a butterfly? I had better work on something else, oh wait, I was supposed to be doing something. Oh I don’t want too, but I should, but I shouldn’t. Okay, if I must…..

The word is procrastination. If one were to call me anything, it might be the queen of procrastination. Yes, I do get a lot of stuff done. Yes, I hand made my Christmas cards. Yes, I make bows for my kid’s hair. Yes, I work part time, volunteer at the base, work my home based business, mother, wife, sister, daughter, and the list goes on and on. But what I do best is procrastinate. And I am so OVER it.

The main area of my procrastination is doing what is best for me. The opposite of great is good enough. And I do plenty of good enough things. And I bet some of my good things are great things for other people. It is good to volunteer and be team mom and all of that other stuff. But what is best for me so that I can be great? Marvelous? Spending quality time with the people that I love, working out, eating healthy, feeding my creative soul. I procrastinate all of these things because “they take too much time” or “I’m too busy”. Well, not anymore. I am choosing to eat healthier, choosing to watch TV while being on the treadmill, choosing to keep my beautiful new craft space in my house clean so that when I am feeling creative I have a place to go and choosing to spend real time with real people.  Right now I will do something different so that in the future I no longer will be the queen of procrastination and will instead be the Queen Me.
