Positively Friday

I borrowed a little book from the library recently. It's called What the Dormouse Said: Lessons for Grown-ups from Children's Books, collected by Amy Gash, and over the course of the year, some of the quotes I'll be sharing will come from this compilation. Here's the first:

What you can do is often simply a matter of what you will do. ~from The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, 1961

Ain't that the truth?! Sometimes when we say that we can't do this, that, or the other, it's not so much that we can't but that we won't. Hear the distinction?

This ties in very nicely with yesterday's post, I believe. I can grow spiritually, I can develop a regular writing routine, I can find time to exercise and do it, I can get rid of stuff. The question is, will I?


The answer is, yes, I will! This year I choose to do the things I can do! And I'll look back on this helpful little quote every once in a while to cheer myself on.


I am cheering you on, too! What will you do this year that is something you can do?
