We all set goals. Sometimes we fail.
Honestly, I fail a lot.
When I started this blog, I set a goal of writing 5 out of 7 days per week. A high bar. But in addition to writing I determined I wouldn’t just write chatty life bits. But rather I’d write something of meaning. I’d try write the kind of thoughts I think are worth sharing.
Last week I failed. By a lot.
Years ago, when I had decided to improve my eating habits, I had a revelation. My goal can be a guide not a rule book. If I fail and eat too much chocolate one day then for that day I failed, but tomorrow is a new day. Each day is a fresh start. Falling off the wagon yesterday is not a reason to quit today.
In that spirit I’m here to write. Today I’m showing up. Even though I failed last week. I might not fail this week. Today is a new day.
I am learning to be patient and to forgive myself. If you are like me this is one of life’s hardest lessons.
As long as you keep getting back up that’s what matters. Enjoy your day

That is the truth. Everyday is a new day.
When it comes to food one slip does not mean the whole day is in the crapper. I can start my day over anytime throughout the day.
