Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

A few days ago I wrote about how little things add into big things.  It was a positive "Get it done" type of blog urging you to do those things which seem insignificant because they can add up to become big things.
The saying could be illustrated like this...

But today, that same saying came blaring at me like this...

LITTLE THINGS BECOME BIG THINGS!

This same idea which was a happy little baby bird maturing, a sweet little seed becoming a beautiful tree, became something nasty, something awful, something I dread.  

A confession.....I procrastinate things that I dread.  I am pretty sure that we all do.  I have a large dislike for some things in life.....laundry (cleaning in general), paying bills, the "female" doctor, the dentist.  Well today, one of those dislikes, one of those things I procrastinate about smacked me in the face.

I went to the dentist this morning.  I went for just a normal routine cleaning that should be scheduled every 6 months.  (Remember how I said I procrastinate things I dread.  Yep.  Hadn't been for that 6 month cleaning in 18 months.)  Then he said the C word.  That's right!  C.A.V.I.T.Y.

EVEN WORSE...4 cavities.

Yuck. Ouch.  Ugh.

There is that idea again--Little things become big things.

Now I ask myself, "If I would have just sucked up my dread and gone a year ago like I should have, would I have these 4 cavities now?"  Lesson learned.

So, today, in the words of Ice Cube-

Calling today to make "that other" appointment that I dread.  (Maybe I should do the laundry too.)
