At the same time, it is a source of, alternately, hope and dispair, potential and disappointment. I start each one with a gleam in my eye but inevitably fall flat. Then I spend the next 6-8 weeks beating myself up for failure while at the same time looking ahead to the next one. Someday, I swear to myself, I will finish one. After all, I wrote the darn thing, right? Unfortunately, saying and doing are two entirely different things. A concept with which I'm sure everyone is familiar.
So I am here to say that from this moment forward I will not look at myself as a failure. Reflecting on the process and looking for ways to improve is ok - encouraged, even - but dwelling on shortcomings is not. Each day is its own entity, and its success or failure is based solely on the actions of that day. Even so, a day in which we are all still alive and the house is standing is never a failure. This is my new motto. Until tomorrow. :)
What does PCCX mean to you? What does it make you stop and think about? Is it an entity to you, or just a pile of drudgery to be endured? Let us know in the comments please, and help yourself to 50 points for doing so.
PCCX is the ultimate achievement. To be able to get the entire house clutter free and CLEAN. Walls, floors, furniture, etc. all spotless. It's like moving into a new house...
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of each PCCX, I think, "THIS time I can do it!" and then something happens. I have to move. I'm not done unpacking. I'm attending college. I move again. I'm attending college. I move again. Dad got sick. Sighhhh.....
