One Step At A Time

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Take a deep breath, count to ten, and tackle each task one step at a time.".... Linda Shalaway

I'm a perfect, yet so imperfect example of this quote in action and inaction, if you know what I mean. Today's date is 11-11 and this post date is 10-25, which makes me behind by anyone's calculations. Even grading on a curve won't help me here.
I thought about just scrolling past all the yesterdays, finding today, and starting over from there. Often times that is all we can do to correct a tilted situation. But... damn'it I worked so hard choosing these quotes, loading them on my calendar, then loading them here. Well, I just figure there's no sane reason to reload a gun that hasn't even been fired.
Redoing is such a pain in the ass, anyway. It resembles food handling too much to be anything except an irritating chore. By the time you pick stuff up off the shelf... place it in your cart... put it up on the counter... put it back in the the cart... l0ad it in your car... unload it at home... then put it all away... well the thought of dragging any of it back out to cook makes most sane people want to eat out. My writing is a joy, so turning it into a chore just defeats the purpose.
You who read here are stuck with me in about fifteen more yesterday's until I can stumble through to an eventual today and get back on track. My mother's illness slowed me down some. We all have times like that, so please don't disregard the dates that don't match. Yesterday's have lessons to teach all of us, and these quotes are gentle one's. I'm sorry that you have to pay for them by reading my dribble. But... this is life, after all... and nothing is free. Thank You ALL for your patience. And as always.... think about it.... let it grow.... then decide!!!!
