That calendar in the hallway at work is talking to my soul again. This time it’s not shaming me – I actually agree with it. (See how fickle I am? When it’s bossing me around, I hate it. When I agree with it, it’s not bossy at all – it is wise, like me.)
This current round of hammering-it-into-the-ground advice-giving has to do with contentment. It says you should stop after an accomplishment to appreciate what you have just done – not rush onto the next thing. Savor life and all that. Yeah.
i like these calendar pages. They affirm me. I am heavily Type B. I can’t fathom how Type A’s function without having some sort of stroke. All that perfectionism and ‘goals’ and organization? I can sit back and appreciate an accomplishment all day long. Heck, i’ll write a post about it!
Then again, I am sure Type A’s can’t fathom how I can be content sitting on my sofa typing a post in a messy living room with a smelly cat leaning on me.
How Type B am I? So Type B that I’m pretty sure I have one of those calendar pages upstairs in my pants pocket (I put on my pajamas at 7), but I’m too lazy to go up and get it. There’s a cat on my lap, you might remember. I’ll look for it in the morning.
Hmmm… so the calendar is getting to you, is it? I wonder if someone could slip a message into it and plant a suggestion in your mind. What if the page for November 30 said: “Send Brad some money”?
I’ll have to get a research team working on this…
It would work, I’m sure.
And as it turns out, I don’t have the calendar pages here at all. Boy, I am scraping the bottom of the barrel for post ideas, huh?
I don’t know what personality type I am. It seems like at work I’m more of a type A, but at home a Type B.
I’m a lil’ bit Type A, (song in Marie’s voice)
I’m a lil’ bit Type B, (song in Donny’s voice)
Wait. Maybe it’s a split personality I have.
I would rather be a Type B. You are more relaxed (on the outside anyway)and have more fun with life. Right now, I am fighting my Type A personality big time. I want to fix stuff, and I can’t fix any of it.
The super-strong Type A in me says that my accomplishment is but one of many that must be accomplished today. I don’t have TIME to sit back and enjoy it. That’s why I come here. You remind me to enjoy it.
