Everything was getting on top of me. The house, the garden, the chores, the shopping, the correspondence, my responsibilities, even my friends, my programme.
then a funny old saying came to mind...
" Don't try to eat the whole elephant, instead start by nibbling its' toenail."
Now I do not eat elephants and I really don't want to eat toenails either but the essence of this is - DON'T ATTEMPT EVERYTHING AT ONCE, AND DON'T TRY TO COMPLETE EVERYTHING AT THE SAY TIME. INSTEAD, BREAK IT DOWN TO BITE SIZE PIECES - or in other words,
inch by inch it's a sinch - yard by yard it's far too hard.
Now that is managable and the inches soon add up to yards!

Hope this helps you today, as it has helped me, AND what'smore it made me S M I L E too.

I have never heard that saying! Thanks for the giggle and the reminder. I am bringing that into work and posting it all over the place. I don't like toenails either , but Pipers Kitty loves to eat mice. (I assume they have toenails don't they?) Love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
