I find it so helpful when I get overwhelmed by circumstances and obligations to remember this poem. It all starts with the next thing not the thing down the road.

My mom taught me to make my bed first when cleaning my room; it always looks better than it is faster! And flylady.com taught me to wash my dishes/shine my sink first.

It’s so much more encouraging to say, “I’m working on such and such goal” or “I’m on my way to such and such destination” rather than a negative, “I’ll never get there!” monster, which has it’s own way to coming true when we say that over and over to ourselves.

Glad to hear you like the blog! Thanks!

I'm in the middle of packing for a cross country move. It's so overwhelming because we have accumulated far too much stuff, but I'm doing one thing at a time.As I do that one thing I'm able to sort and declutter and pare down to just what we need. As soon as one thing is done I am free to move on to the next thing. It's a great way to think when there's a huge job to tackle, for sure! Your post is timely for me! :-) Just found you not to long ago...enjoy reading your take on life! Mariah So right! I’m in the middle of packing for a cross country move.
