Lately, I’ve been drinking my morning coffee on the patio while the dogs do dog stuff in the yard. It’s peaceful and not too hot or windy yet. A good time for thinking.

Today I was thinking about procrastination, one of my challenges. Turning it over in my mind a phrase came to me.

The path of procrastination is also paved with good intentions.

Following that rabbit trail a little further, I realized that good intentions are one heck of a building material. And like brick or concrete or wood, they can be used well or poorly, to build something useful or something bad. What seems to make a difference is whether you use any other materials in the process. A path made only of bricks with no sand foundation or mortar between them won’t be pleasant to walk on or as durable.

So here’s to mixing your good intentions with thought and action. See where your path might take you.
