When you Miss the Mark

…the most important part of any attempt is how you respond when you miss the mark. ~ Thompson, Susan Peirce. Bright Line Eating (p. 237). Hay House. Kindle Edition.

A neighbor to my childhood home
started a diet every Monday,
and though it seldom lasted
until bedtime Monday,
the next diet began next Monday.
That was an improvement of course
over all those who started New Years Day
each time it came around.
It’s true, though, the most important part
of any attempt is how you respond
when you miss the mark.
This day begins a string of special days
where eating holds the stage.
You really can address the wrongs
you need to write now. Any it works better!
