I find it interesting that we come up with these great ideas and fail to prepare adequately. It's now Cinco de Mayo and I haven't begun my journey. I have so many excuses but none are good enough to repair the assault on my self esteem. On May 1st I wanted to start reading. I really did! But I didn't get to because I spent precious time building a custom made bookshelf. One thing lead to another and it went from 9am to midnight! I was exhausted and asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. Sunday came with yet another project of putting together bunk beds and trying to recover from my over used muscles!
I felt like Jack Tripper in "Three Company" after he tried to impress a girl by going to the gym. I think I was trying to impress my wife with building a custom made bookcase. Exhaustion and power tools are a bad idea by the way. Monday I spent another 8 hours on the bookcase and Tuesday I caught some kind of "bug" and slept approx 18 hours. It could’ve been dehydration from being outside on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I feel better today but I can't get enough water!
I suppose I say all that because won't "life" get in the way over the next year? Reading takes time, focus and just doing it! So I am going to allow myself one mulligan and reset my reading starting line to Monday May 17th. I have the Master's Hooding ceremony the weekend of the 14th and I won't have any time to myself. So I am going to forgive my inability to start and plan effectively and allow this one mulligan.
