I've found that plans that work, sucessfully, depend upon
Smplicity, creativity and consistency
Why do these plans develop within my head each time
A problem, which proves on-going, is seriously in need of solving?
Because otherwise, the problem remains on-going
And as things get better or worse but don't stay the same
That suggests on-going problems worsen, over time
I believe many people believe that when problems arise
Someone must be in need of punishing; must feel guilty of wrong doing :(
I believe that solutions to on-going problems require leadership to
Dive ever more deeply into the intuitive portion of the brain where
Insightful thoughtfulness, concerning human nature, awaits discovery :)
Once I became a parent (leader) of children
My think tank came up with (and made good use of)
Simple plans, based in intuitive thought, which inspired my children
(And adults with open minds) to
Organize their think tanks in such a well balanced, self disciplined fashion
So as to join hands while we brainstormed together to accomplish
Heartfelt goals by weaving a sense of positively focused
Communal harmony into every solution-seeking plan, which
Considered needs, all around
For example, ultimately, the Catalogue Plan taught children that
Gifts were received, graciously, rather than greedily, and
Soon you shall witness how intuitive thought processing on
The part of leadership inspired three young minds to
Achieve that goal, though none but the leader had a clue that
In addition to experiencing pure pleasure, learning was taking place :)
(Another plan, which taught children to give, generously, will appear once
My description of the catalogue plan is complete :)
In order to implement the catalogue plan, leadership had need to 'acquire'
These solution seeking tools:
Positive focus
Simplicity of thought
Creative inventiveness
A childlike sense of wonderment
Patience
Good humor
Farsightedness
Clear cut short range goals, leading toward long range goals
Three hefty toy catalogues
Black, blue, green and red markers, times three
Three children
If you are curious as to how our catalogue tradition got started and
Why four colored markers, and which
Lessons were absorbed from this activity ...
All I have time left to say for today is this:
Problems are the mothers of inventiveness
Rules are necessary while on-going problems process toward solution
Rules are followed when
Leadership follows through with consequences based in
Common sense,, consistently
As for now, we're about to stop at the market to get fixings
For my special spicy spaghetti sauce, pasta and salad before
Picking up Uncle Barry, who's flying in to meet his very first
Niece who, within a blink of the eye, is one month old
And as David, who is totally smitten with Ravi, is
Still with us, we're all looking forward to enjoying
A family love-in with Steven, Marie and Ravi beginning at noon!
If you choose to stay tuned, here's my plan:
Once I have time to write at my leisure
I'll outline the rules, necessary for all to enjoy catalogue delight
I'll explain the reason for four separate sessions with markers
And I'll fill you in on the problem that caused me to invent
A sanity-saving plan so simple as to
Consider each person's every desire while
Teaching the concepts of self discipline and gratitude, thus
Culminating in peace of mind at every age, all around 😊
(And this plan, which satisfied our needs, is only one of many to come)😊
