One I try to go with is.... fix the bits you can fix, ask for and accept help where its needed and the rest can wait.<br />Or, 'how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time' for tackling big stuff.<br />Or, 'how do you eat a box of frogs? Pick the strawberry one first' for when lots of tasks, start with the pleasant ones.<br />Beverleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08888309706331542704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-43674052523697386622018-04-15T20:34:24.990+10:002018-04-15T20:34:24.990+10:00I completely understand Liz - I am a newbie at thi...I completely understand Liz - I am a newbie at thinking like this; but am finding it so much more helpful! When you think about it there is absolutely no point in worrying about things from years ago with folk who aren't alive; but we are wired to spend time there somehow. I am pleased to have this sort of a framework to use to think through things now - helps give me a sense of perspective I think.

In the words of the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, I give them "persistent or nagging attention" ... ironically, the individuals who often figure in my ruminations are long gone from this mortal coil. Talk about a waste of time and energy!Liz Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397660873950991774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-33120020607639753092018-04-12T17:17:34.752+10:002018-04-12T17:17:34.752+10:00so beautifully!so beautifully!Mo Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004208849028911104noreply@blogger.com
