Happy Thanksgiving

I don't know about you but I find it more than a little challenging to stay focused on my goals during the holidays. Everywhere I go there is Christmas music playing, and beautiful decorations that shimmer and sparkle. I do love it all! My own home will be bursting with all of this in just a couple of short weeks, and I can hardly wait. But today I am taking a deep breath to clear my head as I review the goals I set for myself in October when I looked ahead at the coming season. At the time I knew what I would face during the holidays, and I knew that I may not be quite as productive this season. I anticipated the obstacles I might confront, and with that in mind I adjusted some of my goals so that they would be reasonable and attainable. But still, I am not where I intended to be at this point in the season. Today I will take an honest look at where I am, and whether I will lower the bar or kick it into high gear. Either way, I am celebrating where I am today, and I am counting my victories. There is much to be thankful for, and the season isn't over. Happy Follow-up Friday and Happy Thanksgiving!
