It's been a while!

“In life, you either have the results you want, or you have reasons to explain why you don't have them. If you have the results, you don't need the reasons.”

~ Robert White

It has been quite sometime since I have written a How Am I Doin' Friday email.

It feels good!

As I have pointed out earlier in the week, I am finally getting back into a routine,a routine which includes writing daily.

I have sorely missed this.

I would love to tell you that I am back to full speed ahead and have picked up right where I left off when life kind of went sideways on me. The fact of the matter is,the road to recovery is a long Journey.

Make that a long,slow, arduous Journey.

Here's what I know.

I know where I am today.

I know where I once was,

And I know where I want to go, at least in this moment.

I also know this will not happen in a day or a week or even a month.

I once heard that for every day you miss getting paid, it takes 2 days to recover.

Hopefully my road to recovery in regards to getting back on track will be more geometric and less arithmetic in it's progression.

I do know that it will take as long as it takes and that I am committed to making that happen.

I have a number of new things that I want to accomplish.

They will have to wait for the time being.

As I sit here , I am fully aware of the number of "things" that have been left undone ,unfinished or unaddressed.

Before any new projects get started, I must clean up the old ones and tie up all of the loose ends.

All good stuff!

This is where not having that person sitting in the chair of the empty desk in my office becomes abundantly obvious.

Some day....

For now, it's back to list making.

Although I am not a fan of to-do lists,sometimes they are the best means to achieving a goal.

It's a bit like grocery shopping.

Sometimes you really need that list to make sure you haven't forgotten something.

In the kitchen cabinets of my life, things have gotten a bit depleted.

The good news is that this has been a great week and I am already beginning to see positive changes.

As I said at the top of this message...it feels good!

And feeling good feels really good!

Shabbat Shalom!
