If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

That’s the saying that was drilled into me when I was young. Don’t give up! Anything worth having is worth working for! Stick to your guns! You can do it!

I’m finding my adult version is a wee bit different.

If at first you don’t succeed…

Take a deep breath. Get a cup of coffee. Clear your mind with a bit of twitter scrolling. Put that load of clothes in the wash. Eat something so your blood sugar’s not low. Fill up your water cup. Pet a fur baby. Put on some music. Take a nap. Eat another snack. Take a deep breath.

And try, try again.


Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “if.” Start your post with the word “If.” Enjoy!
