Not too long ago though I became acquainted with FlyLady and she suggests decluttering, cleaning, organizing your life in 15 minute increments. I don't always do things in 15 minutes sometimes it's less and sometimes it's more but, it works if I take the tasks in my life like I do my life... inch by inch, step by step, moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day. Plus, it helps immensely with staying in the present.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-20866181780984284062012-07-20T10:42:38.781-07:002012-07-20T10:42:38.781-07:00Praying Zarnab!

I never got to see it, but this piece helped me appreciate it. I have so many projects and I am fundamentally at a lazy mode to even get started. But as you say, inch by inch, cutting them down to doable pieces rather than the big picture all at once, is very effective. I will keep that in mind.

And he comes out clean. I see some correlation to my own life in that scene. I've had many challenges in my life and I've come through the other side clean. I have a job I adore. Friends I wouldn't trade for the world and a life that I love.<br /><br />It's THE reason the entire movie speaks to me. I could very well be Andy Dufresne.<br />--<br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-56653579108542139112012-07-10T17:57:04.042-07:002012-07-10T17:57:04.042-07:00Jane, I have an Emily Dickinson poem for you, my a...Jane, I have an Emily Dickinson poem for you, my angel friend across the ocean who blows snowflakes of feathers my way, and magically perfumes my day with white freesia and carnations! <br /><br />If I can stop one heart from breaking,<br />I shall not live in vain;<br />If I can ease one life the aching,<br />Or cool one pain,<br />Or help one fainting robin<br />Unto his nest again,<br />I shall not live in vain.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392676309476353391.post-35672344305207596642012-07-10T17:32:10.113-07:002012-07-10T17:32:10.113-07:00I'm nobody!
