When Your BUT Isn't Moving

January 16, 2014

Tuesday I was pretty hard on me/us about our BUTS. The obstacles, the excuses, the things that get in the way of us meeting our goals are frustrating to say the least. But we do need to acknowledge those times when are BUTS are unavoidable. A few examples... You have a well oiled plan for the day filled with errand running but your kiddo wakes up sick.
