I was getting my oil changed and looking at the reading material in the waiting room. Now I have to buy the Oprah magazine, because it had some good ideas. One was:
- Make a list of the 10 things most important to you (not general like "peace").
- Make a list of the things on your "to do" list.
- Compare the two lists. How many of the items on the second list are on the first list (or vice versa)?
In other words, how much time do I devote to the things most important to me? But the last suggestion is:
- Make a plan to do some of the things on the first list and stick to it - don't do anything else until you do some of those things!
Ouch. That hits home.
What am I happy about today?
Even though they are not important in the greater scheme of things, I did get two things done that were haunting me:
- Took car to carwash
- Took car for oil change (you knew that already)
Now I need to put away clothes that were washed.
What do I want to do with the rest of my time today...aside from the time it will take to drive to San Jose to pick up daughter and grandson from airport?
- Check under the house to make sure that all things that might be damaged by being on the ground are raised off the ground.
- Make sure everything is out of the weather that is on the back porch.
- Complete refinance decision
- Complete refinance application!
Now, onto less mundane writing:
FEAR
Is that what keeps me imprisoned by all my stuff?
As long as there is a bunch of clutter to clean up, I don't have to step into the unknown.
Where I live now is a kind of limbo...not doing what my parents wanted me to do, and not doing what I want to do. Not even knowing what I want to do. Too surrounded by clutter to even begin to think about anything else.
What a pathetic kind of security. Yeah, I know I shouldn't have said that...pathetic. I guess I should be kinder to myself. What do I need to do to deserve that?
