Daily Success for an elderly peregrino is symbolized by this statue

Daily Success November 19 – Okay.

Daily Success Yesterday

Success yesterday somehow achieved the “Okay” line when I actually scored it out. Repeated trips to the bike because I was cold and wanted to warm up are all that got done well. Multiple reasons including a visit from Gale and Dave that provided a wonderful couple of hours of friendship (good) and just feeling a little “off,” sort of like a cold starting (bad). The feeling poorly continues this morning despite a solid night’s sleep.

Aside from the bike, stretches = fail, core strength = fail, leg strength = fail, Spanish = fail, and Project Pinecone = disappointing.

Success Today

Success today is just about willpower as best I can tell. The “just not well” feeling continues but without the “cold starting” aspect. A doctor’s appointment and poker are already cancelled for noon and this evening. Part of that is a total lack of desire to do anything but sit at the computer or, perhaps, go back to bed.

Thus, success today will be a huge challenge. I must overcome my own total lack of … something … and do what must be done to fulfil my promise to myself and, especially, my promise to Priscilla for San Martín.

Success in the Future

Success in the future boils down to “Illegitimi non carborundum est.” If it was easy, everybody would do it. Focus. Dedication. Will power.

We do these things “not because they are easy, but because they are hard”.
