Forgetful

Forgetful...I am trying to accept and dare I say...embrace my forgetfulness?

I'll be honest. It is at an all time high right now due to lack of sleep, emotional exhaustion, and who knows what else. Oh yeah, genetics!

I forgot a good friend's birthday this Saturday...I forgot that I had scheduled a meeting after work today...I'm sure there are a million of other things I have forgotten, but I don't remember what they are:).

You know, Lee got me an iPad and I was initially quite excited about the 'to do' list feature and the calendar that can supposedly sink with my gmail. It also combines with his calendar so that I can see what he is up to.

TOO MUCH. IT IS TOO MUCH.


I don't really want to see what he has planned. To be honest, I don't really care to see what I have planned, but apparently I need to check more often so that I don't forget:).

Back to the whole embracing my forgetfulness. Life is not meant to be filled with 'to dos.' Life is meant to have much more quiet time...to listen. To listen to what God is teaching you and where he is leading you. Life is meant to be filled with moments that matter...moments sharing God's love with your children or spouse or friend. 

Life is meant to be simple and if my forgetfulness helps me to simplify my life than so be it! Amen?
