"Getting Started"

Where do I start? Have you ever wondered where to start as you begin a new day? As I sat down at my computer today, I found myself going through stacks and stacks of papers from previous days and trying to sort them into some usable fashion. Getting started can be a challenge for many of us. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of beginning the day is separating the important from the mundane. I find myself asking, "What is the most important thing I must do today?"

Spring has brought numerous outdoor projects for our family as we have decided to tackle improvements in the yard. We have been adding two new flower beds and planting our garden. Numerous other projects are nearing a state of readiness. Where do we start? I guess that's the question we raise in the midst of so many items on the agenda.

As I traveled recently to a nearby city, I pondered how to get started. I looked at the best way to get where I wanted to go. I tried to decide on the best route and what time I would leave. I used an online map to help with the process although it wasn't exact. The big thing is starting the journey.

What kind of journey will we start this week? Life is full of unique and special opportunities. Let's get started and enjoy a wonderful spring!
