Tie Me Up!

Okay, that title was a little deceiving.....but since you're here:

As I read different blogs, & even in conversations that I have, sometimes I pick up on a phrase or comment that sticks with me. Then there's a lot of times that I'll think, "OMG, that's just like me!"; it's nice to know I'm not the only one with the thoughts I have...lol

Anyway, I read a blog this morning, that had a comment saying, "...tie up loose ends...." Isn't that great advice? I perceive it in relation to me (well, it is MY blog, afterall), & taking control of my life. I'm so focused on just "making it", that I'm spinning wheels & have no focus. I'm like the little boy in Holland that plugs up one hole in the dike, & the water gushes through another hole; I get so involved putting out fires here & there, that I'm scattered. (yes, like my brain!) I'm not even sure this makes sense to anybody else, but it makes sense to me. Taking control. It's kinda like my blog about making lists.....bringing some organization to my life.

I don't make future plans, not even a month in advance. And guess what? One years rolls by like the next, & I'm pretty much where I was say, 3 years ago. Now, I don't suppose that would be too bad, if I lived in a fairy tale life, but it's disheartening for me to think that life's just rolling by, the same from year to year. Have no fear, though....just because I get disheartened, doesn't mean that I'm all doom & gloom. In fact, I don't usually feel very gloomy at all...lol

But, on the cheery side....there's hope yet. Yes, I plan on following those words, & working on tying up my loose ends. This shall be my current project; it is so decided.
