Loose Ends

The older that I get in life the more that I am finding importance in not having loose ends. If you are anything like me, you start a lot but don't complete. I am in a season of wrapping up "loose ends." Finishing house projects - getting things looking neat - etc. What are your loose ends? What are the things that you have started that are not complete? House projects? Education? Relationships? Jobs? Dreams?

Tie them up. Finish the race. Don't let the words come out of your mouth; "i will finish it someday."

Home Improvement

Someone once gave some good advice when it comes to handling paperwork. He/She/Whomever said that you should only ever handle paperwork one time. In other words, when the mail comes in, get it out of the mail box, open it, file what needs to be filed and throw away what needs thrown away. That way there is not a mess lying around, and you have dealt with it.

Okay, so here is the point. This adage is good for home improvement projects as well. Start the project and finish it. Don't let grass grow under your feet (another good adage)!! Get it done. I am currently trying to get some projects done that have been lingering for quite some time now.

Let's just say that the kudos that I so desire from my wife for getting these projects done would have come 2 years ago. Now she is just glad that they are getting finished.

In other words - DON'T BE LAZY!!!!

Ring the Bell

Ate at Arby's the other day! There was a new feature - at least I think that it was new - I had never seen it before; it was a bell. It was located by the exit, and had it not been for some over zealous college students, I may not have even noticed it on my way out. It was a small bell with a simple saying on it; "if we have done a good job, then let us know by ringing the bell." So I rung the bell!

When people do a good job - let them know!!!!
