This is the time of year
when many of us
look back
and evaluate
what we’ve accomplished.
We note the progress
we’ve made,
the goals we’ve met
or not met,
the difference
we’ve made in
this wonderful world.
When you’re doing this,
note
that we were dealing
with both a pandemic
and climate change
during it.
Those were possible life-ending challenges.
They required mental bandwidth
to survive.
Simply surviving them
was a HUGE accomplishment.
If you accomplished other goals
while doing so,
you did AMAZINGLY.
If you’re reading this,
you accomplished a great feat
– staying alive.
If you’ve done more
than merely stay alive,
you should be
VERY proud of yourself.
Remember that
when you look at your progress.
