Gumption

Constancy. Gumption. Stick-to-it-iveness. Those words were in my prayers this morning. Dear Lord, please help me stay the course, whether it’s getting my filing done, or avoiding the Halloween candy. I could have added cleaning the basement or exercise.
I need to plumb my depths and find the ability to stay with my long-term goals.
Serenity would be another good word to add to my prayers. I hope staying the course will bring me serenity, not because of the accomplishment of goals, but for knowing that I CAN go the distance.
I suppose that it would be too much to ask for a personal commitment trainer for Christmas……and a housekeeper, huh? *G*

  1. I should be saying the same prayers Buffy. Especially since I’ve been so awful on my diet lately….and all the extra Halloween candy left over won’t be helping. Stick-to-it-iveness…yep, I definitely need to pray for that…and a housekeeper would be nice too!

  2. Joy, I’m glad to know that I am in good company. I see that you’re an early morning blogger. Happy November….and my best wishes with the Halloween candy fight!

  3. No Halloween candy in this house. We give out razor blades and shrill whistles. (That was for the gullible.) We really do not have any Halloween candy about; but, that is because we didn’t get any trick or treaters for the first couple of years in this house. So…we discontinued the practice.
    I thought that we, your faithful readers, were to provide you the encouragement required to get you to do ALL things. Good luck!

  4. Cop Car, you certainly do! Send more my way, please. I’m feeling particularly needy today.

  5. Ommmm…ommmm…good thoughts…good thoughts…Buffy is succeeding…Buffy is succeeding…Buffy is succeeding…ommmm…ommmm….
