THE CARD
A thought for the day.
Knowing where the broom is doesn’t make the floor clean.
The Council of Idiots has weighed in.
“Let the maid do it.” “We don’t have a maid.” “Then Jody’s getting a maid outfit.”
Well, damn. Before this becomes a fashion show, I’m putting my boots on and grabbing the broom.
I live here. My life matters. And I can take care of one small piece of it today.
What needs action? Boots on the ground.
Before the Council starts discussing lunch. That’s a whole other discussion I don’t want to get involved in.
THE LESSON BEHIND THE LESSON
One small action counts.
Knowing what needs to be done isn’t quite the same as doing it. The Council of Idiots can debate the broom and my new maid outfit all afternoon.
When a task feels big, I can pick one piece that belongs to me: put something away, make a call, or ask someone to help me get started.
Action doesn’t have to be dramatic to matter. One small step is a way of taking care of the life I’m living today.
What’s one manageable thing I can put my boots on for?
