Saturday, March 15, 2008Well oiled machinesWe are quite busy as always, but lately we've been working pretty well together. We get a lot done, and I really like the lack of guilt I feel for doing things. For a long time, I had trouble executing on orders because there were always things I could have been doing while I was doing the orders... That's cryptic. How about an example? I say I'm going to clean up the yard, but in my head, I know that my Lady is trapped babysitting the kids while I do that, and she wants a break from them. So, I feel tremendous guilt while cleaning the yard, or I put off the yard cleaning, sometimes too long, or even indefinitely, and that's no good. Not cleaning the yard after I said I was is basically lying, to me for thinking I could do it, and to her for saying I could do it and then not, whatever the reason. So, long story short, this kind of thing happened for a long couple years, and my Lady has grown really impatient with me for it, and I totally understand, but lately I've been coming to understand my limits better, and my Lady's desires. I've found that it is better to do the thing my Lady wants done, and the thing I said I would do is more important than the thing I think I should do. There's a lesson here, I am working really hard to make sure it sticks. |
