Putting forth the effort

I have been struggling lately with putting forth the effort. I have noticed this in many aspects of my day. There are times when I feel I am rolling along doing what needs to be done and then there are other times when I know there are things to be done and I avoid them. A funny thing occurred today. A person I do not know helped me with my effort and action. I had a couple of recyclable printer toner cartridges near my waste container. They had been sitting there for a few weeks. Everyday I would say I will order replacements and recycle the used ones tomorrow. With this attitude, tomorrow was not coming even after three weeks. Today I had a note, it said, "Is this a trash? From Housekeeper" This note moved me to action. It helped me realize my current mode of procrastination. I am truly grateful for this note and I saved it as a reminder to "just do it."
