Getting Started

Sometimes getting started is the hardest part of any job. Take my office, for example. I really need to do a thorough cleaning, but I can never get around to starting--it is such a big job, I'm not sure exactly where to begin--so I don't!

That isn't the case with our kitchen remodel. I was at the church on Saturday afternoon, preparing things for Sunday. I went into the hall way next to the kitchen and into fellowship hall, but I never looked in the kitchen. When I got to church on Sunday, someone asked if I had seen the kitchen. No....I hadn't. Why? Well, some little elf had come and removed the ceiling tile and grid. He came in on Saturday morning and did the work. I just didn't look into the kitchen on Saturday, so I missed it. But there it was (is). Exposed steel girders, wire and sheet metal. It looks very industrial--and no, it isn't going to stay that way. One of the very last projects will be to install a new grid system, drop in new light fixtures and put in the new tile. But, as of today (actually, as of Saturday), we can announce that the project has begun. I plan to take pictures as we go and post them on the Internet--so you can keep track of our progress (hopefully, not our lack of progress).

I guess I should take my cue from the kitchen project and just get started. Maybe you are like me; you have something in your life you need to be working on, but you keep putting it off. Let's make a pact to begin today...OK, maybe we can put it off until tomorrow, but let's get started.
