When you make a mess you need to clean it up, but sometimes it's not that easy.
I've got a couple of things to clean up and neither of them am I happy about. I want to yell and scream about how dumb I am, but that doesn't help. It's happened and it's time to clean up.
When I think about what to do, really the best cleanup is prevention; be proactive with my planning and communication. A personal problem I have always had is that I very often don't see past my own life and issues. I can easily forget about the other people out there, and quite frankly, this can piss people off. Sometimes I think it's their OWN selfishness that makes them angry, but it's a cycle that could be broken if I would think of others more than only myself.
The ongoing cleanup that will never really be finished is my own life. We all make new and interesting mistakes as we go along, so really, just making sure to not repeat the same old mistakes is the best cleanup we can hope for.
I've got a bit of work ahead of me in the next couple of days, but I think that I can clean up well and make everything the way it was before. Hopefully.
