The Weary Traveler

I'm checking in to gloat. My laundry room and van are still remarkably clean. I'm on a seven day winning streak! Finding a system that works for me is my ultimate goal. Sometimes I try over and over again, dozens of times. Until at last, it clicks. It's not hard anymore. It's not the daily struggle to hold on, with weary, bleeding fingers. All of the sudden I have reached a safe landing. I can relax and enjoy the journey I'm on. I can see the progress I've made. I'll rest for a time until I get my strength back and I'm ready for the next challenge. There is so much further to go but from where I'm standing I can look back at the miles I've already come. I realize I'm closer to the end than I am to the beginning and I know I can make it the rest of the way!
