Didn't mean to miss a day but my USB thingie had been hanging on by a thread (knocked it off the bed which split off the plastic casing leaving it's naked little circuit board hanging on at a 90 degree angle) for months until it dropped off yesterday.
It was the non-perfect end to a non-perfect day for which I will take credit. Julia Cameron talks about being self-destructive in perfectly socially acceptable ways and I watched myself participate in that yesterday.
1) Over-worked, ignoring my fatigue, then
2) Full grocery shop list instead of just picking up milk, ignoring my good ideas, then
3) Evening get-ready-for-college workshop that my son would not attend, ignoring the inner voice that asked me why am I going if he isn't.
This is treating myself in a self-destructive manner. Yes, I got a lot accomplished but at a cost to my peace and sanity that was not worth it at all.
What's good about today is that I learned from yesterday. I did not accept unacceptable behavior from myself.

Oh C., I have SO many "yesterdays" from which I've learned. And it ain't always easy, but it IS always doable. With God doing the DOING, how can I LOSE?
ReplyDeleteIf we can't learn from the past we are destined to repeat it.
ReplyDeleteLoved your list. When all else fails, I try what works. You never know--some of those "good" ideas may lead somewhere. Visit me sometime--Kathy kathyberman.com
