If Not Now...When?..... Someday...

Liz, when I procrastinate is also when I forget.  I'm not sure if that is old age but I have good motives (like that thank you card I meant to send) but then get busy and forget.  You make some great points

Liz, I think the majority of us have problems with procrastination. If there only were a pill to take to fix it. Just got to keep working on it. Great song to go with the lyrics.

God Bless you sweetie pie, I have to go do something. I love my friends here.

Marchel.......hmmm they're probably intertwined......forgetting and procrastinating........if not now.......then when?......if we don't do it now, we forget! Anyhow thats the lecture I give me kids...:-)

Gary - I think you're right, its not like its never going to happen.....sometimes we just need to be more conscious of what it is we're putting off.......

Hey Later in the Rain Deb - You gotta do what you gotta do.....so go do it! :-) luv ya too...:-)

Hey Later in the Rain Deb - You gotta do what you gotta do.....so go do it! :-) luv ya too...:-)

Liz, so you've been thinking about it ... I can see that ... are procrastinating?  Are you forgetting?  Are you going to do it now?  Is this the right time? 

If not now, then when?

Sylvie - ha ha ...you got it!  That Tracey Chapman songs been playng in my mind all day for a reason!  I had a good little cry and then sat down to visit and surf a/r invisibly.....well sort of.....:-)......Now I'm going to go and check to see where you've been! AND......... Yes to all of the above!

....so now i'm going to go digging for your comments......and bring them back to you so you can POST them..:-)

LOL Liz.... I was wondering why my blackberry stopped chirping. I thought you were doing what you did ... and I thought you needed it, so I didn't bother you, but I came looking for you here. I'm glad you did it ... and I think now is 'Someday' ... throw caution to the wind. Do what you want to do. You deserve it.

And don't give me any trouble, please LOL (leave me alone - I don't have anything more to say)!!!

Sylvie - well i did write you a few more blackberry messages but then put them in 'save draft' as even I thought it was starting to get a little co-dependent!) lol

Now I'm going to go back and look for trouble..;-) Unless it finds me first.

Well, speaking of trouble, I guess I made trouble today, with my latest post, which you've already commented on ... and I have to brace myself ... (looking for my suit of armour) ... but what the heck ... I can do that and a lot more with 2 glasses of "whine" in me LOL (I shouldn't drink ... I get totally loose - writing, that is).

Have a good night, and I'm sure we will talk tomorrow. :)

Liz, this is so true.  I am soooo guilty of this.  I need to not only stop procrastinating but make sure that I prioritize my time to spend more with my loved ones instead of always working.

Great post!!

Sylvie - I'm thinking you didn't need that suit of armour after all!  :-) Loose?  lol......so thats what happened.......:-)

Audrey - You and me and most of us...:-)  I'm thinking the next post should be on 'guilt'...:-)

Liz -  Now I have to check my someday list and make them reality.

I've bookmarked this post and will read it later.

(That was a joke.)

Funny thing- I heard that song yesterday and didn't pay close attention to the words- which is not normal for me since I love Tracey Chapman's lyrics and usually turn my ears on. That's a round-about way of saying, Thanks!

Jennifer........I have another list.........500 things to do before I die......hmmmm I wonder i fthat classifies as a 'someday list?'

Chuck:  I got it!  I have a folder full of Bookmarked Posts I've meant to get to 'someday'!

As for Tracey chapman..i love her too.......its like that sometimes, there have been songs I'v heard a dozen times.............and then one day...........i'm actually 'present' to the words and the meaning........and its like Whoa! I'm amazed sometimes how unconsciously I can be living me life ....:-)

Hi Liz- I like what you said, and I also feel with Marchel........and everyone of us has at times Procrastinated....I want to enjoy some things now, and some I need to wait for...like our 80 days around the world trip LOL :)

Featured @ Club Chaos

Liz - Procrastination in action YouTube - Tales Of Mere Existence "Procrastination" enjoy

Kathy - yes yes and yes - I continue to procrastinate.......i like to think 'postpone'.......is different, thats a planned procrastination!  lol........Now 80 days is a dream about to come true........(no one day somedays about it!)  :-) 

Carolyn - Thank you for featuring me in Club Chaos! :-)

Kathy - looks like it might be good but the link to the You tube video wouldn't open!  

Liz, you are awesome! How could I not? I love this post!  ;-)

Carolyn.....I see I'll need to visit Club Chaos more often.....;-0

I looked up all the definitions of chaos....in the dictionary - where I go often trying to make sense of life...:-)..And there are a few.....

1.)A condition or place of great disorder or confusion. 2. A disorderly mass; a jumble:  3. often Chaos The disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space supposed in some cosmogonic views to have existed before the ordered universe. 4. Mathematics A dynamical system that has a sensitive dependence on its initial conditions. 5. Obsolete An abyss; a chasm.

Liz, sometimes it becomes a position of knowing that what you are waiting for may not be what is being sough after.  Great point!

Mark - So true.......sometimes you are waiting for what you one day realize - you don't either want anymore, or perhaps never did!

Liz:  Just caught this post...and it brought back some memories from the past... and in retrospect, procrastinating, putting something off in many cases people eventually get around to doing what they are putting off.  But procrastination has a relative...where people fail to take action, an opportunity etc. because of fear or doubt.  They lose out on the possibility of a new or better relationship or for some kind of fulfillment in life.  They struggle within, wanting to pursue a different path, or activity...and simply suffer because they fail to take a chance.   Fear, doubt, procrastination robs us of many wonderful life experiences and leaves us either with regrets, or simply wondering about the what could have been.  Nice post...
