My internet horoscope this morning said something about "today is the day to tackle my to do list."  My reaction was fairly neutral -- "Really?  Why today of all days?"

I don't even have a true "to do list" - but I know what needs to get done and I store that list deep in the pockets of my brain.  My horoscope made me think about my list, and I quickly (like in seconds) realized that it is getting kind of long. 

So, I started to move a little more quickly -- make the bed, get dressed, sort some laundry, and a load "in."  A good start to the day -- now I've earned my relaxation - breakfast, coffee, the newspapers, and FoxNews.

As I clean up after breakfast, I take care of my cats daily needs -- a 1/2 cup each and fresh water (yes, Brita-fresh out of the fridge...)  Down to clean the kitty litter...and that's when I am struck with the big "to do" on the list.  It was time to throw out, wash out, sweep up and prepare fresh boxes.  I hate this chore.  Sigh. 

But, in the middle of sweeping, a lovely methodical task if it wasn't for the flying fur and kitty litter granules, I realized that I was feeling a little bit better, a little bit more in control of my time and my "to do" list.  I'm feeling energized!?!? 

I can't believe it!  What am I going to do with this?  Write!  In my blog!  Wow!  Another item on my "to do" list!  I am going to write about this experience.  And now I'm doing it. 

I really love the feel of control, don't you?  In times when there is so little to control, we need to rejoice when we have it.  We need to take advantage of the control.  When I'm in control of my life's choices, I feel more balanced.  It's more than thinking "life is good" -- it's a feeling of peace with myself.  I'm making purposeful choices to do what I want to do - not a need to or have to, but want to, driving towards individual goals. It's a good feeling.  An Abundant feeling. 

My advice - Adopt a cat (save a cat!) or take action on your to do list today!
