										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><span style="font-weight: 400;">Try One More Time</span></h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I took time for a short reprieve as the seasons changed. Then it was time to try one more time to work on a few goals. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My clock said to keep going and yet I knew that the clock ticking was not the thing to pay attention to this go around. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There was a part of me that thought it might be perceived as slipping if I didn’t push. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then I remembered that this was the time to listen to my own inner talk. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes when I keep going it does mean to pause at regular times. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A pause could be when the energy comes for the final push. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This quote from </span><a href="https://www.thomasedison.org/edison-quotes"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thomas Edison </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">was one for me to think about during that time. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>               The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.</b></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There we go! </span></p>
<h2>Success can come when we try one more time.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Success can come when we try one more time. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What I tried during this pause included two things. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Keeping it with the pure steps is what helped me do something again. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Restarting is the main thing so here we go! </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Where I am in the season includes bundling up with more layers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I am currently wearing wool socks, jeans, a button up shirt and then a heavy sweatshirt. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Of course, I feel like I could climb the mountains I love with the waterproof shoes that pull it all together. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That would mean adding a warm, heavy coat which I also have within arm’s length. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowing what I need and want to talk with others about in the present moment is the first thing that I’d start with. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s think about that for this minute we have here. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What do you want to share with others? </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you could make a comment to someone about life, would it be the same as how I started with how I like to stay warm?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s my need during this change of season.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perhaps you would begin another way if you were in person. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I know I’d have other comments and thoughts to toss back and forth with you if we were sitting next to each other. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gather your chatting side of life and keep it going. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There could be memories, you own quotes to share and goals you have that may come into a conversation. </span></p>
<h2>What to try one more time about.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ways I’ve thought about what to try one more time about what to say with others has reigned supreme. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You may have guessed that this is not my first time thinking about communication and following the possibilities of what this could lead to for others. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then there is this second part. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It may be the end of the year and yet it doesn’t mean I need to stop with any goal I have. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I have considered this from the upside, underside and the downside of how it could look. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What if this was the time of year that I actually gently geared up? </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that may sound counter intuitive so hear me out. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Part of my reprieve was to gather some energy for this. </span></p>
<h2>To try one more time and follow up on some steps.</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To try one more time and follow up on some steps. The timeline may have passed from an original goal and yet energy could be found again. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gearing up is what I have done before when getting close to a finish line. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In fact, it may be how I know how to do it now. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier this year I relearned this as I saw planes lifting and growing from one step to another. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://juliapearce.net/2024/08/05/a-step-at-a-time-151/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">A step at a time</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is how it’s been from the beginning. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s how it is now. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perhaps it would be taking one step in front of the other like you see here. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I imagined how it can be again as I tried one more time. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These two things have come over time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Staying with the pure things to say about what there is to want and chat about that, along with continually going for my goals. </span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, what has come to you?</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are no timelines on these.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s take a reprieve when needed and then continue together, my friends. </span></p>
