When I got to work this morning there was a tomato sitting on my desk. My friend Ron had dropped it off for me. All day I looked at that tomato, and kept wanting to pop it in my mouth and just munch it down! But when I considered the whole picture, I decided that I should just savor the thought and bring it home to have with supper. Right now I have eaten that tomato about six dozen times in my mind! And it was delicious in my thoughts every time.
I just now finished all my little household chores, ran 2 miles just barely ahead of the brewing storms, and now it’s time to eat the tomato! It may seem like a small thing, but having something fun to look forward to at the end of my work day made waiting worth the effort. When I’m tempted to jump heedlessly into projects, I try to make myself look at the whole picture. I can often find the best choices and ultimately get the best out of my efforts by doing taking extra time to think things through. This is difficult for me as I am a whirling dervish most of the time. But worth the extra considerations.
Something to think about….
