You know, I think one of the hardest things in all the world for me is to remember.
I learn so many things, but I forget to them.
I recognize so many wonderful principles, but I forget to apply them.
I am driven by my deepest desires, but so many times, those deepest desires take a back seat to what I want now because what I want now dominates my view so completely, that I can’t even see and don’t remember what I want most.
It’s amazing how much of what I struggle with can be traced back simply to forgetting.
In that Spirit, I’m making some plans to help me remember, help me remember what I want most, so I’m less likely to forget when powerful desires of the moment try to point me in other directions.
So that’s my thought to open things up today. 😊 I’m going to make little signs, reminders, all sorts of things to help keep me focused, so I don’t lose track of what I want most in favor of something I want now that’s just short sighted.
Anyway, I took it easy today. I went out to the dreaded motorhome, found an issue with it that required a part that I’d need to get from another city, and just called it right there. I was done for the day–was just gonna slow down and relax.
So I went home and played on the internet a good while, looking for things to buy (investment property mostly… and cars and pianos… and and and…
Didn’t find anything. I keep dreaming, though. 😁 I’d so like to find a piece of land, get a little house, rent, whatever. I’ve looked at maybe getting a tiny house to dump on a larger piece of land–something.
Who knows. 🙃
I did commit to my friend Cory that I’d stop working on cars every day at 6, that I’d not start until 10, and that I’ll spend an hour working on my book every day. So… thanks, for the extra support. I’ve got that basically scheduled like that anyway, but it’s gonna help, I think, to have made that commitment to Cory.
Onward.
#1. I’m grateful to have taken the day mostly off.
#2. I’m grateful to have figured out, I think, what’s wrong with the motorhome. Had a bad connector.
#3. I’m grateful to my mother for going to the assessor’s office and asking all the questions I needed answered. That was awesome. I’m actually on the verge of getting things figured out and done there!
#4. I’m grateful for frozen mangoes. Tasty. 😁
#5. I’m grateful to be able to have made some good progress memorizing.
Well, loves and hugs, folks!
Bring it on.
Lift the World.
