Tomorrow is the Busiest Day of the Week

There is a Spanish proverb that says tomorrow in the busiest day of the week.  "Mañana, Mañana, Mañana is soon enough for me" goes the lyrics to a golden oldie I remember from back in the day.  I'm thinking both the proverb and the song lyrics are reminding folks that because it is so easy to put off until tomorrow, etc., tomorrow is soon filled with the woulda, coulda, shoulda's of today. 

So what's to be made of this?  I just don't know for sure.  Yes, my list is long of things I should be working on.  But there are days, (too many I am afraid), when I just DON'T FEEL LIKE IT!  There, I've said it.  Sometimes I just don't feel like doing the laundry or pulling the weeds or getting up and going or lying down and waiting.  There are times when, like on a Monday in particular, the list of "to-do's" seems so daunting that the only thing you can do is succumb to the "overwhelms" and relax until the feeling passes!  Nothing else can be done.  If you force yourself, you might strain something, like a kidney or a brainwave.

So there you have it.  Tomorrow is always gonna be the busiest day of the week.  Especially if you have perfected the fine art of procrastination.  And whose to say that's wrong?  A lot of the time, what seemed so important today, so urgently needing attention, has, as if by magic, resolved itself by the next day!  Ultimately, when you think about it, it is a wonder that anything ever gets done sometimes, especially when you put it off until tomorrow, because, you know, even though Scarlett O'Hara declared that tomorrow is another day, really, truly, tomorrow never comes....
