How to eat an elephant

Did you ever have a day, well two or three days in a row where everything seems to go not quite right? Then they pile on top of each other and everything else seems to overwhelm until you seem to be buried by a mountain of rubble. True most of it is of your own creation and response to things that are happening around you. My advice to others and I should listen to myself is to take small bites and eat slow. That is how to eat an elephant, one bite at a time. Hard to remember that tip when you are surrounded by a buffet of issues.
