And it comes from
saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try
to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but
it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really
important. [Steve Jobs]
I’ve often said that NO is a complete sentence. I BElieve
it. Finally. I like what Steve Jobs said here, too. Often the something needing
to BE said, and said again, is NO. Period.
I have always felt that I MUST give reasons for saying NO. I’ve
stopped. Now I say NO. Period. [okay, sometimes I say NO, thank you, BEcause I
DO BElieve that makes the sentence more me than just NO. period.]
Arranging a bowl of
flowers in the morning can give a sense of quiet in a crowded day - like
writing a poem or saying a prayer. [Anne Morrow Lindbergh]
Sometimes I wonder at my mornings. Why I DO them this way
after over 50 years of an entirely other way. And you know, it’s like this: I
BEgin my day in a gentle and quiet way to bring that gentleness and quiet into
the day itself.
It is a simple thing. It works for me. And saying so is
Enough.
I love you, Currie
