Day 38
Today is a day where I seize the opportunity to address some things that I have been ignoring.
You know exactly what I am talking about. 
Those bits of mail that we constantly shuffle to the bottom of the pile. 
The un-returned phone calls that I have been avoiding.
The unmade phone calls that probably should have been made a while ago.
The unanswered emails that are sitting in my in box.
Why today all of a sudden am I choosing to address these?
No particular reason.
Possibly because I have stopped making excuses.
Possibly because the backlog is growing out of control.
Possibly because I have cleaned up some other more pressing matters. 
Most probably because I have decided that avoidance is just stupid!
Fear, of what I don't exactly know, has kept me from attending to these things.
Is the fear rational?
Probably not.
Are some of these things unpleasant?
Only if I choose to see them that way.
When I don't have solutions or answers, it is often easier to push these things aside and pretend that they don't exist.
To be honest, that's not a great plan.
They don't go away, they fester.
Small challenges often mutate into bigger ones.
Sometimes, they just linger,and linger, and linger.
So today I will go through that pile of mail.
Today I will review those unanswered emails and respond or discard them.
Today I will go through my call back list and make sure that I have at the very least ascertained if in fact a return call must be made and  if so make that call.
Although it feels like a heavy weight to bare, it will actually be cathartic once completed.
The one thing that I am sure of is that by the end of the day, nothing will have changed.
There will be no Armageddon.
The sky will not fall down upon me. 
I may feel , but I certainly will not be, any worse of than I was when the day started.
And I will live to see another dawn.
