Good questions here! I’m tempted to use your word “finish”. I have knitting & sewing projects I should finish… There are other projects too.
Maybe I should use “start”. Start getting these things done. There’s also “act”. Act on the issues, problems, projects that are important or concerning to me.
I have to STOP letting “save” have so much room in my life. While I feel that what I save is important, or somehow precious, much is neither. I’ve so much ephemera that my sentimental and nostalgic self holds on to …
But I’m not at all sure how to part with, anything.
Perhaps I could be comfortable with “begin”.
Begin each day doing what I can towards my goal of finishing my knitting, sorting out detritus, attacking issues of concern.
“In the beginning….”
I must start somewhere. There can be no FINISH if I remain paralyzed at the size of the projects! So,today, this day of Epiphany, I shall BEGIN. I shall begin the tasks that have eluded me. Perhaps this wont result in everything being finished but “well begun is half done” so I will make progress! Next year will keep & I shall learn its word in due time. So, until 2020 I shall concentrate on 2019 and BEGIN to act on my plans, my ideas qnd my projects.
Thank you.
Blessings upon you my dear friend
