One More Thing

I used to be the head of several civic organizations and we had a favorite phrase that said, "If you want something done right, ask a busy person."

I am as guilty as many people of putting off what I do not want to do, but I have limits and those limits keep me from having to deal with unnecessary problems. God willing and the tools are there, I get things done in a somewhat timely manner, thereby avoiding late fees, disconnects, and other unpleasant occurences.

I also find myself prone to worry about things and I dislike this trait. I feel it is simply fooling my body into thinking I am doing something worthwhile, when I am not. Avoiding it by keeping the television, or radio, running only distracts me. Running myself ragged by working, or playing, or helping people really does not help either.

It is better to just deal with a problem head on, admit the truth and suffer the consequences of pain, or the relief of knowing the truth and considering it a base from which I can begin to build a more stable foundation.

The silence is filled with possibilities once it becomes the silence and not a vat for empty actions. Recovery begins one step at a time no matter where you are going.

I can't be afraid to look at the real me reflected back. I am what I am. I am not what I was so beginning now I move forward even if it means just doing one thing differently that I know was not working before. Later on, I can do one more thing if I want.
