To be honest, I haven't been reading as much as I should have. I could list a number of excuses. I've started a new job, I've been busy with our dogs, there's been some family stuff. But, considering that I've still found time to scroll through Facebook and TikTok, I don't really have much of an excuse. In general, I've felt that I haven't been doing as much as I should have.
In December I wrote out a list of 25 things I wanted to accomplish in 2025. And we're in June now and I've accomplished none of them. Zip. Zilch. Zero. I was feeling down about this and feeling like I was failure. However, instead of dwelling on that and allowing it to keep me in some sort of self-sabotaging loop, I've decided to restart. It's June. It's midway through the year and I'm just going to start now. Who cares that isn't January? I can still get everything done on my list. I just won't finish this December, I'll be finishing next May. And anyway, like that proverb says, "The best time to plan a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." I should have started in January, but I can start now. Since it's 11:50PM at the time of my writing this, I probably won't fully get-going until tomorrow, but that's ok. Let's do this.
