Breathe and Throw Away The Plan ...

 

To be honest, the end of January is coming too quickly for me. I have lots of items on my to-do list for the month that have not gotten done, and I don't know how much I will get done before the new month. In part, this is because I ended up spending all day reading a book for one of my book clubs, which is meeting tomorrow early in the afternoon.

In some cases, it is easy to throw away the plan, for example, not getting to as much organizing as I was hoping to, while other parts of the plan are harder to throw away, like realizing that, unlike the past several years, I may not get to only read books by Black authors in February in honor of Black History Month because a few I have out are popular at the library and I won't be able to renew them.

No matter what step we are on, from making a plan to following Captain Cold's wisdom to throw away said plan, when in doubt, we can also remember Jason Mraz's wisdom, bump up the music, and simply dance.

Every time I feel myself gettin' frantic

Maybe too much coffee did it

I bump up the music, bump up the click

I pick up the speed 'til I'm deep in it

Then I give it a hat tip and just like magic

I feel it come back in it, my body's electric

I'm feeling elastic and super fantastic

And flipping like I know gymnastics

I like to shake a leg, I like to nod my head

I like to shake a leg, I like to nod my head

I like to make a snow angel while lyin' in my bed

But don't give me no smooth talk

Unless you got a good moonwalk

And smile with your hips, smile with your hips, smile with your hips
