Nothing (and no one) is perfect. I struggle with my imperfections daily. I'm lazy. I'm a procrastinator. I'm a slob.
For the most part, these are long-standing faults hidden from public view. In the past, they have all been easier to control when I've lived with other people.
These days, living alone and spending a lot of time alone, they've become exaggerated. And today, I recognized another personal problem: I am incredibly easily distracted.
Intentions get swallowed up in other things that just 'crop up' as I'm going about them. Part of the problem is how much of what I do happens on the computer or smartphone, where it is very easy to be pulled away from the task at hand. It is so easy to lose focus. Easy to wander off the path.
It's been happening to me a lot, lately. Today, I had errands to run. I just show up, grateful. But some of the things I do - I spend time every day on my trading portfolio on the computer - happen in a distracting environment, where emails, texts, messages, and, yes ads all compete with my intentions for attention.
So I not only was late to everything I had to do today, thanks to so many branches taken along the way, but a few important things didn't get done at all. This will only complicate tomorrow, when still more things are bound to come up.
So it goes. I have to forgive myself, but it seems, with all that is going my way and allowing my happiness, that I could do more.

Despite the terribly off-plan eating yesterday, and maybe because I stopped eating earlier than usual, I lost weight. Look how I'm hugging the trend line - I love it!
