Consistent

If you are persistent you will get it, if you are consistent, you will endure it.

Do not think only in absolutes, when deeply stirred emotionally,

be consistent, you will endure it

there is both good and bad in all people especially when there is pain and worry

be consistent, you will endure it

know that in this world no one is all knowing

humbly deal with the circumstances of life and death

be consistent, you will endure it

and when it goes quiet and all the visitors have left

be consistent, you will endure it

Socratic questioning is a gift of understanding whether you are basing your thoughts on facts or feelings. guiding you through the complexities of the gray areas of decision making. When decisions need to be made, during the quiet times of the day.

While in the middle of my own Daddio’s death, I managed 3 dumpsters in three days, removing the remnants of his collections and belongs. It was the quiet moments, late in the night that were tough. Three boxes were next to my bed; paper, keys and memories. The paper of life was sorted into a file system, the keys were all kept it was the memory items that caused the imminent distress. In hindsight, I spent a lot of time sorting through the paper with a label maker, it was easier and more concrete. Categorizing what was a liability and what was an asset. A year later, I still have his glasses so that I can have clarity, to see what I couldn’t see then. The objects that mean the most to me know is a painting of spring daisies, a sand dollar book end, and his signature on a card to me.
