Impossible things
You've heard the saying about doing seven impossible things before breakfast. This morning I was very busy. I did:
Seven Impossible Things Before Aquarobics
- Swept the front porch
- Swept the stairway in the house
- Cleaned my painter's palette, scraped it with a razor blade
- Replaced the air freshner
- Mixed my raspberry iced tea
- Did the Jumble word puzzle
- Bagged the kitchen trash.
OK, they weren't impossible. They were, in fact, very possible. But it pleased me to think that I was accomplishing a great deal by doing these things, especially when I really felt more like resting than working.
I made a list of things to do. I'm afraid I left most of the impossible ones to be done later today.

Actually, I've never heard that saying before. Given that my breakfast consists of a bran or granola bar at about 9:30 a.m., I'd say that my biggest Impossible Thing Monday to Friday is that I don't "lose it" in traffic. : ) Does that count?
