I don’t want to bore you with the same old format for my last January ROW check-in, so I thought I’d do things a little differently.
My goals, I have a lot of them,
I read and blog and dream,
My fitness and my writing goals
Take a lot of steam.
Sometimes I’m raring; here I go,
Another checkmark made,
Sometimes I fail at coming close,
I’d get a lousy grade.
But I’m not looking for a grade,
Except for CAPPA’s tests,
I simply want to plug along
And do my very best.
I want to grow and do the things
That I am meant to do,
I want my life to count for much,
This, I know, is true.
For with each day that passes by
I want to leave my mark,
I want to do important things,
Not stumble in the dark.
So when my goals are right on track,
I’ll keep pushing on,
And when they need revising some,
I’ll sing a different song.
Distracting things will come my way,
Some I should ignore,
But other things are blessings great,
A brand new open door.
So for this week, it’s wisdom I
Must seek at every turn,
Achieve some goals, lay others down,
Each lesson hope to learn.
And for the week ahead of you,
Each step along the way,
I hope it flows with joys immense,
Have a wond’rous day.
Now THAT’s an update!
Thanks, John! ‘ppreciate it!
What a magical update, Stephanie!
Ah, thanks!
Brilliant update.
Ah, shucks! Thanks, Laura. You can stop by anytime.
I love that you did a little shake up on the check in…that was great. Also glad to see a reference to the end of January. Hadn’t realized it was so close to being February, the shortest month, then Spring!!! So I think you for making me think that way, however fleeting it is before I go let the dog in from her sub-zero sojourn.
Spring . . . here we come.
Thanks for stopping by, Lynette. Have a wonderful month as you look forward to the warm weather and the eruption of signs of new life.
Now that is a great way to do a check-in.
Thanks, Cate. I thought it was time for a change.
