Day One

Of my commitment to no longer let dishes mold.

I rinsed out both Abby and my instant breakfast glasses this morning.

AND our Cheerios bowls from lunch.

Twenty more days til it's a habit, right?

I thought it was 40 days to form a habit?

My heart is with you .. Now, NO hidden messages here! Ok? But years ago my very strict and fearsome counseling supervisor/ trainer looked at me with those stern, icy blue eyes (she was 90 lbs, wrinkled and aged 80) and said Al, NEVER, leave that used cup laying there where you have to expend at least 10 times the energy to clean up after the fact -- once to go fetch it after you've ignored it thinking you've triumphed over the effort; 3 times to keep ignoring it and 6 times cradling the resentment, anger, guilt and whatever before the spirit moves you to recover.
Essentially single now for nearly 20 years, I almost never break the rule .. being alone helps. The clutter never goes away on its own - a fact that continues to stir my resentment. Surely I'm meant to do better things with my time!
