Good Morning Girls!  One of my goals this year is to get back in the habit of blogging consistently Monday-Friday.  As you may have noticed.....I've fallen a little short already. 

Now as a goal setter I can look at the days that I missed writing and identify exactly what went wrong.  I can point out where I maybe wasted an hour, or I didn't prepare, or how I could have let something else go for the day.  I can look back and see why I fell short.  In doing so I would be able to tell you if I need to push and fight harder....or....if there is something else getting in the way.

And that something.....what is it?

Simply put, it's life.  Yep.  Life just gets in the way sometimes.  You can have the best laid plans, the most serious of intentions, and the purest heartfelt desires......and still, life just gets in the way sometimes.

What does it mean when I say "Life gets in the way"?  It can mean a number of things.  You have a sick kid so you can't go to the gym as planned.  You have an unexpected urgent family matter that you need to attend to.  You have a friend that needs you.  You get called into work on your day off.  Your husband presents you with a to- do list and firmly says "I need you to do this stuff for me today".  All of those things are examples of what I call "life".......and all of them have the potential to squeeze out your personal goals for the day.

So what do you do when "Life gets in the way"?  Well first of all, you take a look at your goals and your day.  You see if you can somehow still make it work.  If you determine you cannot....well....then you go back to Tuesday's advice which is.....LET IT GO!

Let it go FOR THE DAY, and then pick up where you left off and press on!  One day, or even two or three does not mean all is lost.  Every day that you do not achieve every goal is a day to learn.  It's not about crossing everything off of your goal to do list.  It's about something more, something bigger and better then that.

If you want to find out what that something is, tune in tomorrow.........

Love, grace, and life to you all,
