Real People

Real is the person who can show all sides of their personality.

Flawed People Welcomed

I embrace my flaws and people, who like me, admit to having flaws. People who purport to be perfect or try to hide anything that would make them appear as less than perfect, must have a truly difficult time and must expend a great deal of effort to maintain that false sense of being. I do well in many things; okay in some and not so great in others. It’s what makes me uniquely me. Embrace your many sides.

Just for Fun

Sometimes I observe the funny things that people do and ask why they did those things, just for fun. Have you ever left home without an umbrella when you already know it’s raining? Ever noticed how you either pretend you’re not bothered by the rain, even when you’re soaked? Ever noticed how others try to “out run” the rain? That just makes me chuckle.

I often read a small town paper online called the Daily Herald. In the opinion section, there is something called Sound Off! The purpose is for readers to share comments about what matters to them, ranging from topics about life in the city, politics and personal pet peeves, to compliments and complaints. I thoroughly enjoy reading Sound Off! and decided to offer something similar to you, my faithful followers. I love it!! In Sound Off! readers are encouraged to stay on topic, be respectful and the use of foul or obscene language, personal attacks or uses of another's identity to post are not allowed. The rules for what I am calling "Let Go!! with Dr. D. Clutter™" are the same. Every Friday is our official Let Go!! w/Dr. D. Clutter™ day. I'll post your advice, ideas, stories and thoughts. It'll be a place for you to share your life management and organization issues as well as discuss life events that inspire, empower or bother you. You can "leave it all here", as long as you follow the rules I discussed above. All comments will be reviewed before posting. So get ready, get set and Let Go!! w/Dr. D. Clutter™.

Plan to Live

Goals are great as they are a road map or plan to help you live your life more effectively. Goals, should however, never become so binding that you spend more time on them that you don’t get to enjoy the actual benefits of the fruits of your planning. Plan to live!!

Balancing the Scales

Ever notice how much time you spend on remembering and rehashing the negative events in your life? Do you spend as much time remembering and celebrating the positive events? Strive to have a more balanced existence and tip the scales towards the positive.

Lilacs

I was speaking on the phone today with my senior best friend, who is 96 years old. I was telling her of a "rough" patch I'd had that week and how it could have put a damper on and changed the path of my dreams. She told me that she only had one major dream in life-lilacs. "Lilacs", I asked, "what about them?" She said she'd always wanted a home with lilacs in the yard and around the fence; she never got them. I asked if that made her sad and she replied, "Just a little, but you have more time". I was floored. Here was a woman whose one dream was never realized and who could have become disillusioned and discouraged, but chose to go on. More than that, she was still a beacon of hope and encouraging me to pursue my dreams!! If you're not blessed to have a senior best friend like mine, encourage yourself or find someone who will encourage you to dream!! Never stop pursuing your Lilacs!!
