Back on the saddle

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.

  1. 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.
