A Message From A Very Bad Grandson

Talked to my nana yesterday. First time in 6 months...

I could possibly be the worst grandson on the planet.

I told myself I would call her fortnightly and I left it 6 months.

She’s over 75 years old, lives by herself and loves it every time I call her (so do I).

I have a number of excuses I could use:

I’m busy

I’m tired

I work for myself, who else is going to do the work?

You didn’t pick up when I called (LIES)

"I’ll call her when it’s important"

But the truth is I didn’t prioritise it.

I didn’t put it in my schedule.

If it’s not in the schedule, it’s not happening.

Even though the benefit of knowing I talked to my nana, making her feel special and all (I didn’t know when she’s going to breathe her last breath, could be any day), is at the forefront of mind. I didn’t make it happen.

I want to do it but I didn't

Just like when we don’t put exercise in our calendar, it doesn’t happen.

We’re all adults but sometimes we need to be told what to do or tell ourselves what to do.

IF IT ISN’T PRIORITISED, IT ISN'T HAPPENING!
