Well I have always been a believer in Full disclosure. I figure hell, if I cannot be useful at home, at least others might be able to use my example as a "What NOT to do"...
Hell every time I see that pair of scissors I get a little shudder.
Poop picker upper? Now I am not "above" ANY job. I've cleaned bathrooms, I've washed dishes... 18 hours straight no less. I've emptied trash, and hell I even managed to get shot at by people actually wanting to kill me... (Family reunions are SO MUCH FUN!)
BUT
I really do not want to pick up Poo... Might go pick apples though. $15 an hour... Who knows, I bet some of them South American folks working the Orchards have cute daughters...
But seriously, there is no point in looking at my ever shrinking savings, my lovely 30% reduction in the 401K, and there's no point in crying about the BMW going away... It doesn't lead me to a happier place, it's NOT going to make a difference so to hell with it.
Roll baby roll...
It's an Aikido philosophy to NOT be an immovable object resisting the forces around you, all it does is wear you down. Instead accept the forces, turn with the forces, and use that energy negative or otherwise to your own benefit. I.E. "Roll with it."
Harder than it sounds when you are taught to stand fast, resist, and be that Manly immovable object, but works wonderfully IF... IF you can actually do it and mean it, which is the hard part.
It might also be due to my being mostly insane. ???
