The Best Question to Ask Yourself in the New Year

1/12/2018

0 Comments

 
By Bobbe White

​My extremely wise friend, Lisa Pemberton, says, “Ask not what are you doing, but ARE you doing?” She knows me well. If anything speaks my truth, this is it.


When our son, Nick, was a little pup, he’d ask many times a day, “Doing?” We would tell him, but he never seemed satisfied with our answers for very long. Maybe as a little guy, he was Buzz Lightyears ahead of us and wanted to ask, but lacked the vocabulary:

  1. Doing that…why?
  2. Doing something meaningful?
  3. Doing what you need to be doing?

Those questions are an obvious segue to my 2018 DO YEAR LIST:
 
  1. Monitor the rabbit holes. Rabbit holes are the social media links which we begin reading for seconds, turning into minutes and sometimes into hours. It means keeping the lure of Amazon, Insta, Facebook and eBay at bay.
  2. Fold bed sheets better. Okay, I admit this is random, but the Quincy Wash Tub attendant has offered this tutorial. That gal can fold a wad of cloth into a postage stamp. Not kidding. Our linen closet deserves it.  
  3. Write fewer words. Say more. I typically write 500 word posts. But nobody really wants lengthy reading. Less is more. Always was/will be.
  4. Listen full in. People observe when you aren’t present. Also, my kids will appreciate not having to say, “I already told you that, Mom.”  
  5. Sit. Stay. Do. P2C is my mantra. (Project to Completion).
  6. This last DO is a DOozie of a DO – to return this home to my husband. I have seeped my DO into every room, nook and cranny of this house. It’s time to undo. It’s probably another article as well as to why we do this.

Let this year be the Year of the DOING (and when necessary, the UN-DOING.) HAPPY DO YEAR TO YOU! LET’S DO THE DO!
