Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

TGIF

 

Another Friday and only about one workday to the weekend. It looks like we are going to make it. (maybe I shouldn’t say that too loud). This has been a busy week. More editing work on the next book and a beta read has pretty much occupied my week. Hard to put my finger on anything definitive that I could rack up as an accomplishment. I guess continuing to make progress is an accomplishment. I guess we should all feel that as long as we are moving forward, we are making a dent in our to do list. Today’s JohnKu talks about accomplishment.

Accomplishment by John W. Howell © 2017

Goals set. We are told,

Each day we should finish one . . .

Well, how about a smile?

      Sometimes the goal should be the smile and we should feel good about accomplishing it. Too often we concentrate on things or events and miss out on the true values. Happy weekend, Gwen. 🙂

    “It looks like we are going to make it.” *looks at chaos already ensuing in house* Think you guys will have to leave me behind. Remember me fondly. Tell my story, but add ninjas and a couple of explosions.

        Why do I imagine my ashes suddenly getting sucked into a plane engine.

    Well done John. And yes, “continuing to make progress is an accomplishment” — I know because I make so little progress! 😀 Happy weekend. TGIF — to a long and extra frustrating week. Mega hugs.

      One could hardly tell your week was frustrating. You hide it so well behind your fabulous stories. Hugs and a wish for a restful weekend. 🙂

    A smile is always a worthwhile goal – no matter who’s doing the smiling or whether or not you caused it! 😉

    Goals are only things we set to keep us moving forward. 🙂 I set goals every week and most always I fall short, but that’s okay. I keep moving. Sounds like a great productive week for you.
