I overslept this morning. In my book, there is nothing worse than starting the day off by hitting the ground running. I arrive at work with a general feeling of "blah"..."blah" with heart palpitations. That rushed feeling often leads to grabbing at food. I grab at food because I need strength. I grab snacks because I am trying to catch my breath. I am trying to fuel my mind to counter the unpleasant lurch into the day. I need to stop the lurching and grabbing and I need to settle down for a moment. I need to take a deep breath and I need to make sure that in the future, I do not oversleep!
I managed to get to work while balancing a Saint Patrick's Day pistachio cream cake in a cake holder in one hand and my work satchel in the other. I climbed three flights of stairs while greeting teachers and students. I had the cake sliced up and delivered by the time I had to be at work officially. I have to admit, I am pretty good at multi-tasking on difficult mornings such as today. However, it takes something out of me. That is the food lesson for today. Just because I can multi-task...does not mean that I should make it a regular event. The price I pay for that effort is mental consternation and anxiety. So in honor of my Irish heritage and of Saint Patrick...and in hopes for future better health, calmer days and less multi-tasking...Top of the morning to all and to all a balanced day.
