Are You Dragging in Spite of Your Intentions?

If rather than moving, you’re stalling,
If couch-time is what you hear calling,
Think what you can find,
To spark up your mind.
An outcome, completely enthralling.

Here we are — January 2022
We have this fresh calendar year.

Even so, I drag myself to get moving.
It can be hard to be enthused.

Daylight is still short.
Winter temps shut down my motivation.
Vows to get back in shape,
Rid myself of those extra holiday pounds,
Build up stamina —
Maybe February is soon enough.

New Year resolutions aside,
When you tell yourself all the “stoppers” you’ve tallied,
It is discouraging.

Here’s the deal though —
We can start where we are,
Use what we have,
Get to where we can.
Then —
We can start from that point to move to the next.

Every little bitty-step matters;
Whatever you’re taking on.

Take it on!
One-day-at-a-time can get you there.

Hugs to you,
Lin
