First..? Last..? Next.....


I owe all of you Soooo Many Blog Posts, Projects review, Race reviews, Daily activities review, Emotional 'Red-Haired Step Child' review, Started a Job review [resigned 6mo later review], Hubby's surgeries review, Chaos Clutter review, [re]Start Hiking review, and so many more things, but First...let's talk about being Next....

 In a perfect world I, like so many others like/want to be First, first in line, first place, first (and only) marriage, first to get and keep the remote, First born, first to open a new box of cereal, the list goes on and on. And of course No One wants or likes to be last, it just goes without saying. But what if you realize your a "next"? Does anyone actually understand what that is or means? What if you begin your day and anticipate getting all the chores done. Maybe even get one or two from tomorrow's list checked off. Then make a plan/time and ready to enjoy a outing or get together with a significant other, family member, friend only to hear...., 

''but first I need to go/do/call/[insert whatever it is here]
it'll only take 30 min or hour, then I'll be ready '' . 😒

That's being a Next !

Guess what...I've become a next...and I don't like it. It hit me this month that This is what I Am! a NEXT. No I'm not thrilled about it, at first I was disappointed in myself for having the feeling of being, well, let down 'cause for me that's exactly what it felt like. I would much rather be a last. Something that will/would happen as a finale. Something/Anything that will become the end of [whatever].

I've lost patience being Next.

Then I discovered me [again]. I discovered I can go with any flow I want to go and Not be a Next. Going forward I'm having a back up ''to-do''.

No Longer am I going to be Next.


Any one else ready to join me in being First?
