I didn’t learn anything today
Can I say that, is that okay?
I woke up early but stayed in bed
No lessons learned
I started work with a Diet Coke
I forgot about a meeting
I made it anyway
I wrote down notes to figure out problems
I don’t have time to figure out
But that’s a cop-out
But I didn’t learn that lesson today
Tomorrow, maybe
Next week, I hope
Next year, if I’m lucky
Keep Growing is our core value
But some days I don’t want to stretch
There’s no room, boxed in by calendar invites
And do you have a minute, it’s important
The thing is, it often is important
I went for a run at lunch
It didn’t feel as good as I wished
I had no epiphanies
Pounding the pavement
Or in the shower
Or blending my smoothie
Hurrying back to the screen
I turn on the TV in the evening
Working while I watch
The work won’t be enough
I’ll have to wing it
I’ll forget something
There is more I should do to prepare
But my mind is spun out
I can’t think of a lesson to learn
(I can) (not yet)
With Love,
Natalie
