Progress Is Progress

---

That oldest daughter of mine…

Coined one of the favorite silly words way back in junior high…using it often…it catching on…now a frequent flyer still today in that Besties chat…

And one that mother of hers has been thinking about recently…
Failsauce…

A spectacular failure…finding humor in failing…humorously failing…the opposite of awesomesauce…another favorite word of that teen of mine...

And so failsauce me…is a failsauce…set many goals for the spring and summer and here it is almost Texas time…and what would you know?..

Find a church…failsauce…
Walk daily…failsauce…
Go to the Y…failsauce…
Finish writing her book…failsauce…

Researched churches…went to one joint service…it ended there…

Walked daily…until it got hot…which it was always hot…so that was that…

Could have gone to the Y…walk in the cool…do chair yoga…paid the fees but decided to go tomorrow…and tomorrow never came…

And that memoire writer me is writing…almost finished…needs some tweaking…but almost is only almost…

And so it is…in life…sometimes we’re too hard on ourselves…sometimes the difference between failsauce and awesomesauce is perspective…

Progress is progress…and any old gal…can be proud of that…
​
And that husband of mine…agrees…
