Pocket Guide to Grace: Lesson 28.3

Step one:  Create a to-do list.

Step two:  Add a few things at the end that you've already done.

Step three: Cross those things you've already done off.  Good Job!

Step four: Proceed with life (as in go ahead and get distracted)

Step five:  Lose your to-do list.  Just fucking lose it.

Step six:  Forgive yourself for losing your to-do list.  Really.  Fuck it.  

Step seven: Proceed with your day.  

Step eight: Catch yourself getting pissed at yourself for the things you didn't do.

Step nine: Forgive yourself again.  This may help:  "What are you going to get an award in Heaven for doing everything perfectly?  No!  So then, fuck it!"  (thanks, Tesia, for that one.)

Step ten: Proceed to bed time.  Go to bed. (I know that's two steps, but, again, fuck it. We're done honoring rules of to-do lists here)

Step eleven: Oops, you're thinking of those things again.  

Step twelve:  Let it go.  No one is perfect.  Isn't that great?  You're supposed to be, well, flawed.  Good Job!

Step thirteen: Let it go again.

Step fourteen: Again

Step fifteen: Repeat steps twelve through thirteen until drifting into a very peaceful rest.

Good Night.  Peace out.
