Finish the Sentence Friday - Stream of Consciousness: Leave

A short little stream is what you will get for this Finish the Sentence Friday - Stream of Consciousness: Leave blog hop post. Host Kristi Campbell, of Finding Ninee, and co-host Kenya G. Johnson, of Sporadically Yours invited us to consider what leave means to us. I will be linking my post to their sites. What does leave mean to you?
 

This stream of consciousness was considered as I was about ready to go to bed.

Leave it for tomorrow. Now is the time to rest.

The clothes are yet to be folded, but for now they can rest atop one of the spare beds.

Phone calls that didn't get made today, will be first on the list tomorrow.

A visit to see my mom for sure, just as scheduled, will be part of tomorrow.

Trying out recipes for healthy snacks is on the agenda and sharing them too.

Leave (as in let) the phone ring when I don't recognize a number. If it is anything important, the caller will no doubt leave a message.

Leave sufficient time to give heartfelt thanks at the end of the day.

    I often leave things that can be left so I can do the things that can't or shouldn't be. I also leave the phone ringing if I don't know the number x

      It sounds like we are alike on some of the things I mentioned. :-)

    Beautiful Pat. I love your last line and sadly it's the one most forgotten because we fall asleep on other thoughts.

      Thank you Kenya. If I were to say my prayers while reclining, I am sure I would fall asleep mid-sentence. I say them kneeling by my bed before getting into bed. That works much better for me.

    I love that last one! I'm feeling that today with so many tasks all leading up to shooting a wedding this weekend. What can I leave? What can I make sure I don't leave for another day!

      There are so many things to consider when shooting a wedding and other special events. I hope everything goes well, for the couple and for you.

    I love your thoughts on leaving - especially the phone one when you don't recognize the number. When we moved, we got on a whole slew of lists and I've stopped picking up unless I know who it is because who has time for all that? Not I! And knowing when to leave things for tomorrow and resting is so important. As is giving thanks. I appreciate that reminder.

      Thanks, Kristi.
      I don't mind answering the phone calls of friends and family, but I do not like repetitive scam calls, telemarketing callls, survey calls, calls from politicians, and . . .
      Life is too busy to bother with all those.
