Unfinished

Now there’s a word I heartily dislike.  Unfinished.  Gives me shivers, even on a hot and steamy day. Why?  I do not like loose ends – dangling threads.  I know I’m not alone.

It’s a daily grind as I work to remain flexible, take life as it rolls my way.  I blame it on my love of punctuation.  😊 Joking – only a little. 

I like periods.  Exclamation points are good, too – in moderation – but commas and semi colons feel like indecisive pauses. 

Keep it moving, my brain says.  Get to the destination whether it’s a household project, a relationship conundrum or tussle with a colleague at work. 

Wrap it up, my heart says.  “You can always come back and adjust.  Apologize. Account for mistakes because you moved too fast.

But I also know that’s not true.  Taking time to be thoughtful IS important and quick resolutions aren’t better just because they’re speedy. 

Unfinished.  I’m learning to love the concept.  Wish me luck!
