OVERFLOW
When you’re in the middle of building new habits, it can be tough to tell whether you’ve reached the “breaking point” or the “tipping point.” As I wrote about this process yesterday, my simple poem suddenly became a prayer...
by Kim Aldrich
Once again it’s Monday morn
And once again I’m feeling torn
By all the tasks I’ve pushed ahead
From last week’s “overflow” instead
Of somehow making room to do
Them last week, when the goals were new
But now they’re stale and mocking me
As I attempt to wriggle free
I long to be a faithful scribe
To follow through and “write my life”
And do the “next right thing” so much
That daily life feels “good enough”
I feel like I am getting there
Yet “overflow” is still a bear
Oh help me stay the course, I pray
Til daily habits win the day!
This is excellent! Thanks for posting!
