Starting year 18, mind

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Now that i’m no longer working, on a fixed income, and enamored with this new reality…

i see things differently.

Remarkably more differently than pre-retirement.

It’s as if the dawn of new thoughts is heading my way.

i can feel it.

It feels great.

18th year eve, mind

Last day mindset: live like you won’t see tomorrow.

One less day mindset: live like tomorrow isn’t one more day to do things, live like today is one less day to do things.

If tomorrow never comes mindset: do the ones you love know at least every 24 hours how much you love them?

Pause.

Deep breath.

One more important thought, in question form…

If all i get today is what i was thankful for yesterday mindset, would it be enough today?

For me, i believe it’s, “yes”.

Why?

Because i think about this every day, all day…

If i wrote at the top of a sheet of paper or a digital screen, “i am grateful for:”

i literally would never be able to stop writing or typing (or dictating).

Finally, for this post, on the eve of starting “daily-blogging year 18”, at the tip of my gratitude iceberg, i am grateful for GoDaddy, WordPress, Apple, electricity, home Internet, connectivity, and desire to continue writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts. Just these seven categories is enough to write literally infinite lists for each of the seven. Didn’t even get to eye-sight, fingers, roof over my head, safe community with paved roads, clean sheets and pillow cases, and my best friend by my side.

One-week countdown, mind

Blogging was a creative, useful way for me to practice writing and publishing.

It was a great thought. A nice idea.

However, the original vision didn’t take flight.

Why?

For starters it’s time consuming to pause your morning routine, sit down and stare at a keyboard and blank screen, and then write something, and hit publish before going on about your ‘normal’ morning routine.

Daily blogging is a habit that few have.

i certainly didn’t have the habit.

And it looked like, for many months, i never would.

Until one day…

Post titles brainstorm list, mind

One of the chronic ‘feels like work’ blogging challenges are the six daily blog administrative requirements (tasks). Then multiply this five times per day. So six admin tasks become 30 daily admin tasks. Every. Single. Day. And all this doesn’t even mention the part about writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

  1. Blog titles
  2. Blog categories
  3. Blog tag words
  4. Embedding hyperlinks
  5. Photo (and/or video) selection, alt text, and captions
  6. Blog scheduling

If there was a simple, scalable way to do those six things five times per day, wow…

Because the writing is the easy part for me.

Now, back to today’s blog post title:
