I finished this yesterday and was going to wait until New Year’s Eve to post it but it got away from me at the last moment while I was scheduling it! Thanks for restacking, Stan!
And the road to hell is paved with all the best intentions to do something but if there’s no action, what have we got but an academic exercise. I think that fear of failure is tantamount in preventing action.
Depends on the circumstance. "Ronald" is me in formal attire, or academic me. Ron is me on the weekends wearing a hoody and having a beer with friends. Call me Ron and let's hope to have a beer someday.

A great reminder that we can only get what we give. I needed this tough love today. Thank you. 🙏🏼
Thanks for stopping by, Troy!
A good old school chastising.
I’m not a finger-waver, Wes!
I'm sure you're not but I like the overall message of 'get up and get something going'. It is central to my life.
I'm with you on that sentiment: What is doing all about if not doing!

I am just learning all of this, give me some time and I will be sharing all of the beautiful writers words.
So beautiful and oh so true. Thank you for this.
Thank you, Nicole!
Really nice, Paul. I like the rhythm of the stanzas. And the message as I read it.
Thanks, Arjan-I appreciate the comment.
Good one
Wow, Paul, another stunner! You are so consistent in your craft.
Thanks, Mike - You’re pretty consistent yourself!
oh Paul. I'm still in vacation mode and am not ready for this. ;^)
I don’t think it’s aimed at you, Ronald or do you prefer Ron?

Such a beautifully said scolding. This bears being read aloud daily. And should.
I don't mean to scold, Patris, but I do believe that life does take a bit of work.
I think judicious scolding isn’t a bad thing altogether, myself.
I’m so glad I found this today. So good, Paul!
