To The Things That Matter Most

 Monday the weather is supposed to be on the upswing and I am planning a coming-out party so to speak.  Whether I do another triathlon or not, I want to put  some order to things.

Hopefully, I can schedule and plan for certain time allocations for all facets of my life to certainly include training.   This will involve some real prioritizing of what I value most and consequently try my best to spend what's left of my life on the things that matter most.

 So, here's to going with that in a couple of days.  There is a quote that speaks to that by Stephen Covey, "The things that matter most should never be at the mercy of the things that matter least." Thoreau wrote, "Our life is frittered away by detail."   

So the program is first of all to do less frittering and pay more attention to the things that matter most, to include the people who matter most.  

However,  I am not that good at this and my effort is being bathed by prayer for assistance in putting "first things first."  That, of course, is God.  If I do that, I believe the plan will fall into place. "Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and all these things shall be added unto you." Amen
