What’s Done Is Done

What’s Done Is Done September 22, 2011

For the past two months, Jeff and I have been keeping a new discipline. We go to bed by 11:30. Sounds simple, but it’s not.

We both like to use the late hours when the kids are in bed to work, to read, to do Sudoku online.  But we’re tired and grumpy a lot of the time, and the boys NEVER LEAVE, and it’s hard to be with your kids all day if you are tired and grumpy.

It’s also hard, though, to go to bed when you are in the middle of something. Something important.  Because we’re so important, and what we’re doing is so important, it’s hard to go to bed at 11:30.

So we’ve been reciting part of a pray that is recited in many monasteries around the world before those well-rested monks go to bed:

What’s done is done.  What’s not done is not done.

Tonight the list of what’s not done is long.  Writing this blog post, however, is no longer on that list.  Good night, my friends.
