anything but only reveling in my misery, I didn&#8217;t give blood once, even though I&#8217;m sure there was at least one opportunity to do so in there some where.<\/p>\n<p>So, When <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.blood.ca\/\" title=\"Canadian Blood Services\">Canadian Blood Services<\/a> called to book my appt I said, &#8220;<em>Sign me up, Baby!<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, today at 2:05pm, I&#8217;m headed in to see if they&#8217;ll let me do my part to give back.\u00c2\u00a0 I really don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m anemic, and I&#8217;m healthy, so it should just be business as usual.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I did an excellent job of doing nothing yesterday and I&#8217;m proud of myself for it.\u00c2\u00a0 Things get a little bit busier for this week, starting with today, but hopefully nothing that I can&#8217;t handle.<\/p>\n<p>See, I&#8217;m wanting to pare back and just &#8220;do life&#8221; at a slower pace.\u00c2\u00a0 I don&#8217;t want to be so busy that I&#8217;m too tired for the things that are important to me.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ve already been thinking of the things that are important, but I&#8217;m going to be writing down some of the things that are really important to me and working towards those things.\u00c2\u00a0 I know that it means letting go of some of the things that are &#8220;cluttering&#8221; up my life&#8230;not even in a bad way.\u00c2\u00a0 Lots of the things I&#8217;m doing are good things, but they are not helping me to accomplish the things that I find &#8220;MOST IMPORTANT&#8221;, and at the end of it all\u00c2\u00a0I don&#8217;t want to look back and think, &#8220;<em>Man, I did sort of a little bit of a lot of good things, but I was so tired and I never really did a &#8220;great&#8221; job of the things that I really wanted to<\/em>&#8221; and so I&#8217;m re-prioritizing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll keep you updated on that list.<\/p>\n<p>How about you?\u00c2\u00a0 What things are really important to you?\u00c2\u00a0 Do you have &#8220;stuff&#8221;
