Category: Everything Is Important

It’s probably nothing

When will the racing stop? Our days fly by in a flurry of activity and checklists.

Never seems to be enough time.

If only we had more time.

Someday things will slow down. Right?

All we have is time, yet we use it like it’s an inexhaustible resource.

But it isn’t.

And no amount of ignoring this fact buys a single day more.

What would compel us to have a sense of urgency for living like we mean it?

Probably nothing.

If only we had spent more time at the office

A mini epiphany is good for the soul. Had one yesterday. Epiphanies don’t come around much anymore, do they?

As toddlers, they happened almost daily. Our learning curve was massive back in the day.

But now? Now if we’re lucky as middle age grown ups, our learning curve looks like a straight line with just a tiny curve. The way a wooden board might look when slightly warped. Difficult to see any curve, but you can if you look closer.

The mini epiphany?

To let go of something that doesn’t matter. And it happened rather quickly after all this time holding on.

While the thing does matter, it is no longer up to this now comforted soul to worry about.

Still hopeful for those teammates remaining. They deserve goodness.

But have let go of the altruistic notion that it was a purpose important enough to die for.

No one looks back and says, ‘Wish I had spent more time at the office’.

Writing about midlife in only three all encompassing categories

Cooper was always ready for a walk

 

(Photo: Cooper has been gone almost three weeks now. Last night’s walk was particularly retrospective.)

We go through our daily motions. Everyday.

Do we give our routine any conscious, deliberate thought?

To what degree?

How often?

These are the things that make us or break us.

And yet it’s a ridiculously simple concept…

Writing about three things. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

What we learned yesterday. What we get to do today. What we hope for tomorrow.
