AND I don't allow other people to dictate urgent for me either; nor do I dictate it for them. (I hope.)<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder, and I'm glad your dad is doing better. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060010344115435519.post-48159930166023447702012-12-07T14:27:46.792-05:002012-12-07T14:27:46.792-05:00I am with you. Sorry about your dad - and hope all...I am with you. Sorry about your dad - and hope all is better. Today someone said to me, "Ah, 1st-world problem." And I completely stopped in my tracks. He lived in China for awhile, and a couple of a third world countries, and has seen a lot. So when I asked about not having any snow for his snowboard team yet, he shrugged. "Ah, 1st-world problem." Our urgent is sometimes...not? Good post.

As you know, I can be a little intense about 'urgent' but Id like to thing it's for positive things (IE - I MUST decide on side dishes for Thanksgiving, it's URGENT.) In the last three years, I find myself pouring more energy into the people who are important to me. Less focus on NEXT and more on where I am and who I'm with. Clearly, I'm not a grounded person by any definition of the word, but it allows the adrenaline to remain dormant until a real emergency (or kitchen disaster, same thing) pops up.Tracynoreply@blogger.com
