There was a time when I was focused and got many things done. I had goals, ideas, and hope. Then I allowed and perhaps even invited stress and chaos to take over my thoughts, which in turn tossed me into a downward spiral. No excuses, I allowed it to happen. I allowed negativity to be my guide and my excuse. It took some time for me to realize what I had done.
Today I start the journey back to my core. These are my chores for the day.
Write letters to my extended family.
Gather three donation bags.
Listen more than I speak.
I am not just picking one of these today. I am going to do them all.

Living with various dynamics can make anyone careless and negligent, but realizing and making the necessary corrections may not be done by everyone. I support your journey.
Well, thank you. I think it made me a better person when I was working on it publically.
i love these posts – accountability is critical.
My grandfather always said “talking is interesting. If we were meant to talk more, we’d have more mouths than ears!”
or sometimes he would say “you have two ears and one mouth. talk in that ratio!”
That is so very true. So DocAndersen, will you give a gentle reminder when I am not listening? How about this simple question “How many ears do you have?” hey, why not open it up to everyone. If you find that I am not listening enough ask me the question, please. We are better together.
i would be honored to do that!
Great, I love it when you set me straight.
happy to help any time I can.
Accountability often depends on how you look at things. For me, it means accepting and doing the writing jobs I am assigned even if I would rather do other things because in the end I get money.
That’s a perfect example. It’s about following through on what’s important to you. Well done.
