Ahh. . . Summer. . . my favorite season of them all
Not just because I'm out of school but, it can be a time to renew. . . set some goals. . .
Almost like New Year's in June!
This summer I have made a few goals for myself . . .
Get in better shape and hopefully lose a few pounds- okay who am I kidding more than just a few,
Get outside and clean up the yard, plant flowers and enjoy the beauty,
Get inside the closets and well. . . reduce and reorganize
I'm happy to say, so far I'm doing well on all counts so here is how I inspired me!
I've been talking to myself since the beginning of June
I needed some changes, a focus and I knew that I just can't presume
To get stronger, to eat healthier, to clean up and clean out
Doesn't just happen, especially since I've been in such a drought!
So I started my break doing all the right things
Knowing full well that I'll be happy for what it all brings
Each day is packed full with cleaning and moving
And I'm happy to say that things are improving
Although there are days that my muscles are aching
I will not give up let there be no mistaking
This plan of mine will work only in pairs
Good food choices are a must when eating my 3 squares
So for all those who need some encouragement or motivation
The first step is self talk and identification
Set some goals, and know what you want so you can focus
And above all remember it takes more than a magic wand and some hocus pocus!

ReplyDeleteGood for you! I'm SO proud of you. I like that idea of thinking of June as a start to the new year. It really is for us as teachers, but what a fresh new take on it. Also had to laugh at the closets -- reduce. I've thought about reorganizing, but I LOVE reduce! Isn't it the truth?!
Once again, you've done it. I was hoping to meet you in the blogosphere soon. Every day I was checking to see if there was something new. So glad you wrote again because your words are like music to my ears. How you create such rhythm and rhyme amazes me! Keep up the healthy eating, exercising, and putting YOU first! Every day we go for a walk here, so if you want some new scenery just holler! :) (And we can travel to EG too!)
THanks Michelle...when I think of why I write. . . you are a big reason for inspiring me to do so! I would love to walk with you and the girls, let's call and set a "play" date! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration, as usual, Lynn! I cleaned up my home office, just a bit, and I felt great!
