Move Redux

It has been a year, folks. 

A year since I wrote my last blog post on the topic, which you can read by just clicking the link.

I don't really have objections to working on the same resolution goal single word as last year, except that I might slack off a bit (through sheer repetition) and I'm determined not to.

Determination does not always equal motivation here at Chez GamersBabes; there are neurospicy quirks to contend with, and these (especially that executive dysfunction) are often obstacles to Getting Things Done. Yes, even things that we want to do.

Anyway.

So I have to come up with a word, preferably an action verb, along the same lines as move, but with more oomph. Something that will keep me motivated to Do The Thing even when I don't want to.

I didn't get derailed by a knee injury. 

I have closed my rings for 365 days straight (plus a couple, as it was one year on December 27).

I've got this. 

And I'm a writer, so off to the thesaurus we go.

Act? seems too theater-y.

Go? too vague.

Walk or run or climb? too specific; I can walk. I can't climb or run (at least not in the literal sense).

Progress? Proceed? too passive.

You know what? Forget synonyms for move, much less action verb synonyms. I'm going to go with...

MOTION.

After all, my doctor may have said (regarding the knee injury) "Movement is medicine" but my physical therapist said, "Motion is lotion."

Same thing, really.
