#1159 Vol.26 - When YOUR DAY RUNS AWAY! - July 14, 2026

Dear Friends,

What do you do when your day runs away on you?

What I mean is you had planned to get a certain work project done by noon, and the morning was so full of many interruptions, that it didn't happen.

Then phone calls come in; this person has a problem and is fretting and worrying about it, so you try to cheer her up and offer suggestions.

Just when you think, "Now I can start on my project!" some else phones and bends your ear with all that she has been doing, and tells some funny instances.

When your ear is numb - Excuse me, MY EAR is numb! I'm casting about for ways to end the call so I can get to my project - namely, writing this newsletter - Okay! Now she has hung up.

I'm six hours late with getting my project done, and now my head wants to zone out and curl up for a nap. This day is just too long! But I have a commitment to keep!

I pause to cross off about half of today's agenda, and come back here to......oh....how...I'd like a ....nap! Yes, I know I have not accomplished much today, but I do feel quite exhausted. ... Ready to zone-...out.....!

My desk drawers need filling..... um.... I was going to find a new email.....sending program......right?

Maybe today is not the best day for that.

Blessings & Prayers,
Ruth Friesen!
