This weeks assignment over at The Sandbox Writing Challenge is as follows……“What have you left undone.”
I feel a pang of urgency
In everything I do.
It must get done,
I have to finish
Or I become unglued.
When things are in disarray,
Out of place and unkempt.
I start to feel all scatterbrained
With my life in discontent.
To leave anything undone,
It’s not my way to be.
I dot each ‘I’
I cross each ‘t’
I finish off each item efficiently.

I’m of the ilk that Has to get things done. I make the bed as soon as I get up…I never go to bed with dishes in the sink. Poor Jim, he’ll reach for his glass and I’ve already washed it! I’ve only just now ‘allowing’ myself to NOT finish a book if I’m not enjoying it (gotta say it was hard the first time,,but liberating now!) I try not to be so OCD about it, but if I let things go and leave them undone, my monkey mind kicks in to full gear!!! 🙉
