Potential

Today I woke with a feeling of optimism,
a feeling that this day may result in some 
very productive activities.
A chance to pare down my list of to do's,
the list is long, the items are quite varied.
These tasks, none of which are particularly exciting,
just rather mundane everyday things that we all have to do.
I sat down to mentally review my list, a list put to memory.
I carefully considered each and every one, as well as what
each chore may require of me to accomplish.
The verdict, not today! 
Potential remains.
