My plan was to blog every day in November. Well, I got to the 17^th before I missed a couple. As it turned out, my month of NO included saying NO to a few days of writing. No reason. I wasn’t too busy or even lacking something to say. I always have something to say. But sometimes I just lack the will to get it done.

I’m not especially proud of this, but I see no point in denying it or making excuses. I make grand plans and then let myself down -  if not off the hook. My objective in the month of NO was to make more room in my life. To continue the process of being deliberate in my choices, not a victim of my circumstances. So what shall I do with this perceived failure? Get back on the horse. Accept responsibility for the fact I chose to let a few days slip away without meeting my self-imposed obligation. One, that no one gives a rip about besides me – I am beholden to no one in this project.

So I’ll say NO to the relentless desire for perfection, and NO to the unkind thoughts I harbor for failing to achieve it. I am grateful that I can choose my path.
