Talkers and Doers

There are talkers and there are doers in life. We all know that. It is easy to think of extreme examples of both, flaws glaring as they get in the way of their own progress. From the "doer" carpenter whose grains don't run together to the "talker" carpenter whose beautiful plans never come to fruition.

I fall closer to the "talker" end of the spectrum, to my chagrin. Don't get me wrong - I have moments of "doer" life. I love to run, wrestle, be "on the go" and get out of the house in general. I complain if I have to sit still for too long and I can be counted on to follow through with my commitments.

However...when left to my own devices, I can become absorbed by planning. I plan the grocery list based on recipes that I never cook. I plan to draft articles, essays and books that I never write. I think up exercise routines and map out running routes that are still waiting for my footfall.

As with everything else in life, finding the balance is the sticking point. Well, I suppose I will go DO something now...  ta ta!
