Do the next RIGHT thing

Last night I was watching the Michael J Fox special, and was so excited to hear him say that the way he gets through his life is to "do the next right thing". I have been preaching that message for quite a while now, and have instructed the girls to inscribe that statement on my tombstone.
Bill Murray was golfing with him and the conversation included Michael's thoughts on that the next right things might be. Bill commented on the signficance of it being the next "right thing" versus the "next thing right". I am wondering if it matters so terribly much that I do the next thing 'right' - or if it is more important that I do the 'next thing' and not fret about doing it so right. I don't mean to do 'it' less than right - but where do I place the emphasis.
So - for instance, I am packing for our move. I decided that I would sort all of Bob's books alphabetically by author, and pack them that way. I further divided them by hard back and paper back. Then again by fiction and non-fiction. Why? you ask, - I knew you would - and I have the answer - because it makes it easier to unpack and put on the shelves....and I had some time, and I could do it in small sections and steps. I think I did the next right thing, right. NOW, when it is June 1st, and I am downstairs sorting hardbacks, and not getting the boxes onto the truck because I have am not finshed sorting them out - my focus must shift to doing the right thing - not so right - just getting it done.
I was fretting about what I perceive to be a lack of available jobs in Joliet, for me, that are the kind of nursing position that I am looking for. Bob reminded me that every job I have had, has been a miracle job, that almost dropped into my lap. And he is right. And the thing that I did, was to do the next thing that came along. Sometimes that meant taking the risk of opening my mouth (opening my mouth is not the risk - ok maybe it is) - and saying something to someone.
OR going to a job fair, and saying " I am looking for a job, but not just any job, something that lets me use everything that I have learned in the last 20 years..." - and being hired as a University Liaison - a position that had just been created, and did not have a job description.
So - the next right thing for me? Go home and go to bed - I am on call tomorrow - for 24 hours, and am on the last hour of the 3 day 12 hour shift stretch - so I am tired. And on the way home - stop at Panda Express and buy orange chicken. Because that is what Evangeline wants, and I want what she wants.......................
