90-to-40: The "Did List"

Day 81:
Rest assured, I am completely aware of my humanity. Yet I am reminded daily by personal battles with myself.
I didn't get enough accomplished...
I should have replied faster to that email...
I need to go to bed earlier...
I didn't get to the gym again...
That conversation made me feel yucky...
Whatever it is that DIDN'T get done, didn't handle correctly, or didn't say... reminds me I am human. And I think, "I'm almost 40. I should be better at life by now."

You know what also reminds me I'm human? My wins. The things that DID happen. The stuff that goes right is far more impactful.
I did get my bathroom cleaned...
I did get to spend quality time with loved ones....
I did do a good job...
I did have a great time shopping with K.J...
I did all right today...
And it is the struggle to place the DID-list in front of the DIDN'T-list that makes me the most human...
As for the pile of stuff in my spare room... I DID decide to ignore it today.

I have an extra bedroom that has been needing to get cleaned out for six months now. You'll get to it!
