Inventory Status Report

It's 10 pages long, although the last three pages are an extensive table of To-Do's with emotional reactions, perspective checks, and prioritization. Not all of them are immediate/urgent. A few are fundamental. Some are not urgent in themselves but are important stepping stones to goals or desired states. Some are "a nice idea for an as-yet undetermined time in the future." Sorting out which is which -- and keeping track of it -- is critical.

It's no wonder I feel so frustrated and overwhelmed so often. There’s so much I want to do, so much I think about doing, and it’s impossible to accomplish it all at once. And without organization and discipline nothing gets accomplished. So I feel frustrated and overwhelmed, which means I’m less likely to do anything. . . It's a quick slide down into a vicious circle.

There's so much, and it's all interconnected.

One thing: Spirit is fundamental to all else.
Without that, my life is empty, without meaning.
Everything else hinges on faithfulness to my practices.
Without it, without a deep, consistent connection to Spirit, I'm a shell going through the motions of "making a living" to meet my responsibilties. No joy. No satisfaction.

For my life as a whole, gaps and priorities have been identified, and I've had some additional important insights which I hope will be the springboard for breakthroughs.

More later. . . .

I have to be sure that both Wolfling and I are ready for the new school schedule tomorrow morning.

Thank you.
I'd enjoy talking more about what elements are most vital to you for staying connected.
