And The Word

is ‘procrastination’. 

I know, you don’t even want to deal with that issue right now. Maybe later?

**** ****

A habit of avoiding the issues of this life. Why change now when it’s worked all these years. You got the sitting-on-the-fence blues?

I think the problem is not the ‘p’ word but the ‘change’ word.

Got a poem for you-

“I  don’t  want’na  change,

I’m almost perfect the way I am,

Go away, quit bugging me,

and let me be.”

said he/she.

Then there’s that other word – ‘discipline’. Takes a lot of that to do any changing.

And there’s ‘motivation’  (how’d that get in here?)

The moral of this story is, we are all a-work-in-progress. Some of us are working up and some of us are working down.   Where you at?

A new year coming, a new start.

Why not decide now to have an UP year?

Okay?
