No apologies

I am always ashamed when I approach someone with a question about something on my mind and the first thing they say is, Hey!  How are you?"  I just totally blew past caring about them and went straight to the point!  How awful!  I must be a terrible person!  I don't seem to have that innate gene for being concerned about others!

Well, no.  It goes back to my issue with not being able to focus on one thing at a time.  I know that I will not remember what I have on my mind at that moment in the next moment, so I have developed a habit of getting to the point.  Quite frankly, I like it when people do this to me as well!  It is succinct and gets the issue out of the way so I can focus on being concerned for them. 

I can use this insight in my planners and journals.  I have spent so much money on fancy planner stuff and fancy pens.  I have a huge pinterest collection of creative and decorated journals, but when I get a blank page, I want to be so creative on it, but my mind goes just as blank as the page before me.  I get so caught up in wanting my page to be beautiful that I may never actually write anything on it.  I just feel so frustrated that I can't come up with any beautiful penmanship or border designs.  I am afraid that I will start doing some fancy lettered title and mess it up, or more likely, get distracted and not finish it.  I need to just let myself be who I am and get down to business.

I need to just accept that I am a to-the-point person and be happy with that.  I hope that others can too.
