Planning is Good, Action is Better

I had planned to work on my next poetry collection today. I said to myself yesterday, and I was working on it – you can do a whole chunk of that tomorrow, and maybe get it all done, and then you can send it off to see whether the publisher is interested in publishing it. I didn’t say it out loud, just in my head.

But out loud, or in my head, either way, it hasn’t actually happened, not yet. Unfortunately life steps forward far too often and says, hey, you have to do THIS RIGHT NOW! and when you take a look, yes, you do in fact have to do that thing. Today, the thing has been looking at my current financial situation, and talking with organisations about it.

That is all done now, more or less, but the idea of getting back onto working through my poetry collection, though an attractive idea, hasn’t captured me, not yet. I feel like doing something physical right now is more important. I’ve had my bottom firmly planted on the sofa for far too long today. So the plan for the poetry collection is still there, and I now say, I plan to get up, do some walking, exercising type of things, and when I come back, the poetry collection reading/editing action will happen! I hope …

So goodbye, I’m off to see the pond, clean things up there a little bit, do some step ups while I’m there, then keep on with the walking, to see whether I can do 2000 steps or more today! After that, some more water, and yes, back to the poetry collection, to see the lovely words there, and perhaps make them even lovelier!
