The Art of Diligence

The art of diligence.
I have yet to learn so.
Today and yesterday weren't the best days. Because of my weekend trip to Iowa, I wasn't able to practice piano like I wanted to. But never fear, my lack of followers! I still have time to get in my 3 hours a day for a week. Hopefully tomorrow will be a new day, and a new motivation.
As for working out, I didn't get that in this morning, but I did do the p90 tonight before bed. I am seriously sick of feeling fat and..... blegh. Ya. It's just the way it is.
When I got home from Iowa, it was seriously tempting to go straight to bed, and just go to sleep because I was so exhausted from the whole day. But, I told myself that I would learn the art of diligence.
And I thought of you, fellow [lack of] bloggers reading this. I thought, if I'm going to have to go back, and keep writing in that blog, (and I would look absolutely stupid if I wrote that one post, then never again. You could assume by then I would just be a fat tard), then I would have to just push play on the dvd player tonight. I have to just keep pushing play. I have to. Or else, nothing will ever change.
Tomorrow is a new day. New motivations. New temptations. {That dreaded 3-day hump.}
I just have to choose how I paint the day, because life is an art in itself. I'm just trying to paint my life uniquely.
So then, tomorrow I continue the painting.
And tomorrow, I learn the art of motivation.

  1. Kate - this entire blog is beautifully written. As an artist myself, painting brings up deep emotions within me, and applying it to life as you're doing here is incredibly inspiring.

    Keep moving forward - you now have one more reader to help keep you accountable! (and it goes both ways - I completely empathize with you, both in health and with guitar/music, so feel free to harass me about P90X next time you see me!)
