A few quick thoughts for Monday

On this lovely Monday March 28th, I find myself pressed for time but wanted to share a few quick thoughts while I still have them!

1. Some days you just have to realize that not everything will get done.  Today is my wife's birthday, and I have spent the last couple of hours shopping for ingredients and preparing a special dessert for her.  Did I get my networking done?  No.  Did I pick up any new clients? no.  But, I feel good about doing something special for her.

2. Some days it can be really hard to get anything accomplished; your brain just won't focus, and everything you start turns into an exercise in frustration.  Stop, take a breath and say, hey, I've got ADHD. It's really acting up today.  I'm not sure that's the case, but at least you may feel better.

3. There may be a lot of things that aren't ideal in your life, but I bet there are a lot of good things too!  Despite the many setbacks we all may have, or the things that we may feel bad about there's plenty of company out there.  I always try not to take myself too seriously, and reach out and connect with other people in my life.  Maybe their having a bad day too, and I can try to cheer them up.  Or, maybe their having a great day, and they can cheer you up.

The bottom line is that life isn't perfect.  Be happy with the good things and give the difficult things a rest for a while.  Don't worry, they'll still be there when you're ready for them!
