Week 4
Written By Sue McKay

It’s Saturday (Saturday, it’s a Saturday-eyay-eyay-eyay-eyay).

Where do I begin with a month’s worth of work to consider today. Do I attack the most pressing? The job I can’t bear seeing “not yet done” each day? Or the one that’s most fun?

I’ll turn it around and look at the positive. How lucky am I to have options!

Maybe I’ll treat today as a Saturday should be; the first day of the weekend, when no work will be done. And maybe I will just relax.

Relax? What’s that?

I’ve realised I am perpetually working or meeting my expectations of ‘should’. There are so many shoulds.
