Should I Stay or should I go?

    Do you ever have one of those mornings when you wake up and just don't think you can face the world?  Today was one of those days.  I sent the kids off to school and laid back down for just a minute.  After my one minute had turned into several, I thought- there has to be a good reason to stay home today.  Anything?!?  Nothing came to mind.  And I was pretty sure that calling my very understanding boss to tell him that I just wanted to sleep all day wasn't going to cut it.  So, I dragged myself out of bed, got dressed, put on my makeup and left for work.  And, today has been a great day.  The one thing I have realized about days like today is this- I have never regretted making myself get up and move on.  The hardest part is the first step.  I think you can apply that logic to lots of things in life.  Like exercising (but usually the hardest part is the four days after you exercise when you can barely move), cleaning the house, or cooking dinner instead of going out.  So from now on, when I think of something that I really, really don't want to do, I will get up, get dressed- and move forward.  I'm sure that when all is said and done, I will thank myself.
