What are we to do?
They asked,
When all seems to be
So broken-up?
How can we rectify
When the mess
We allowed
Exceeds nightmare
Proportions?
Perhaps,
The measured response was,
Begin with
Cleaning up.

Thanks! Sometimes all one can do is start with the first step one can do … and cleaning up, in every way possible, may help reduce the mess … even if it cannot fix all that’s broken. It’s a start.

I feel ya on this one.
I’ve started using the 15-minute dash. I’m starting to see some light. It’s really really faint, but I see it 😉

Yeah … I think cleaning up in segments may be the best we can do. Politically and otherwise. 😉 I know where my list starts … 😉

Thanks, Rochelle … easier said than done … but I hope that we can start a deep clean up in November …

Indeed, Na’ama. Nicely framed and thought provoking. Other times, I just need to start over. 🙂

Indeed, though sometimes the starting over requires cleaning up beforehand … so … I’m hoping for a change, beginning with a clean up … 😉

We have to clean up first. For without that, how can we see the deeper repair jobs? Like we clean a wound before we treat it.
