I've achieved my goals for the day. Did a little bit of unsanctioned nibbling.
Yesterday I was fried up, day two is the struggle bus. Everything is sore, and my knee is sending worrying signals.
Everytime I get down today I remind myself of one of my favorite stoic quotes. "You have power over your own mind, not outside events. Realize this and you will find strength."
The path to any goal is never a straight line. There will be good days and bad.
