Doing the next right thing

Woody Allen is quoted as saying "80% of success is just showing up" But for many of us, we would prefer not to bother with the mundane boring aspects of living well and go straight to the good bits.  Holidays, parties and getting pats on the back from our colleagues.  

  To pretend to be authentic often results in humiliation so we do well to find ways to celebrate and enjoy the ordinary.  I came home with flowers for the lovely Sue the other day and she was so grateful, even lovy dovy, but this is because I usually come home with boring stuff, like almost everything she asked me to get from the shops.
