Procrastination: The thief of dreams

As I lie awake staring at a single blade of the ceiling fan spinning, I begin to plan my day. I alot an hour for this and two hours for that, an hour to get dressed and an hour for travel. Today will be the day that I follow through and complete that which I have started. Today will be the day that I embark on all that I dreamed about last night and all of my life. My plans are meticulous and my ideas are brilliant.


A dust flurry flies off of the fan blade like a child being flung from a merry-go-round. My train of thought is broken. I've got 45 minutes to get ready for work. All plans are "go" tomorrow......... and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow............................
