Absolutely love the repetition, the pun, and the commitment.

Beautiful format; I will be borrowing that right away!
And, yeah. I start every Monday full of hope and ambition. I plan HUGE GOALS and all will be so intentional and healthy and completed! And then stuff happens, and/or my mindbodysoul chooses to bonk out, and the chain of “not todays” happens. For many years I saw those “not today” days as failures. Now I am calling those “reality” and embracing them as responsive adjustments to my own needs. (Or trying to!)

My mind is whirling with all the possible reasons why one might not get things done today…vacation, sickness, procrastination, a conscious decision not to…..I love both the certainty that things will get done, and also the acceptance that it won’t be today.
