Dear everyone who is currently working on a Thing,

Whatever that Thing may be, Good luck with the Thing.

You can do it. You will succeed. You just have to do it.

Best wishes,
Someone who is also doing a thing

So this is how my mind works... Thing is a severed hand from the Addams family.

So 'doing a thing' some how becomes.... 'Having a wank'

and my immediate, innapropriate response is... maybe later.

@cmconseils I'm learning how to draw, and it's going really well. I have to keep reminding myself it takes time to make something look good, and knocking something out in ten minutes won't look as good as a project that took days.

Thank you, that's really welcome.
Fortunately I have great accessible support for my thing - Stephen West #MusiKAL mystery shawl knit, so I can be confident about eventual completion: for me, it's not a race.

May I wish you similar support and a random cheerleader - go you! You've got this! for your thing :)

@cmconseils Is Thing a Precious Word, like a Precious Metal ?
Empty by itself, no meaning, depending in what context it is used ?
No Thing has a Twin Thing. All Things are unique.
Therefor, hereby offering my Thing.

@cmconseils Thank you for your gently encouraging post.

My Thing today was to try to get Alpine Linux to boot to desktop on an 18 year old netbook.

Now I have to put this Thing aside to do a more important Thing. That Thing is helping First Born get to sleep.

For one day in the not so distant future First Born will do their Thing, spread their wings and fly somewhere else to a place where they want to be.

So I want to make the most of the time I still have with them. Which is also a Thing.
