I was rocking right along, knocking out items on my To Do list and feeling pretty good.

Then it hit.

I thought I had made the right choice. I thought it was going to be the “easy way” to get things accomplished.

Apparently not.

Despite knowing–knowing–that the quick/easy way is really just a house of cards that won’t stand up to a little turbulence, I tried it anyway.

Tomorrow I get to start cleaning it up, piece by piece. The process will be littered with frequent, poignant reminders that what I know in my heart is true–the “easy way” rarely is.

The zombie isn’t really relevant to this post, but he makes me feel better.
