Think

Small bird and hawk confrontation
Who is the Mockingbird to think it can influence a Hawk (that wants to eat the Mockingbird’s eggs or young)?

i’m struck by the reality that in writing 24,000+ blog posts over 13 years, the content is never copied and pasted. It’s always different yet always the same.

When i say find a million ways to stay motivated, this is a reminder that repetition of your best thoughts, movement, feelings, contributions, and organized dwelling habits is what creates vibrancy.

How did this happen

Disney Institute Customer Service Speaker keynotes
Started blogging in 2008, in the midst of The Great Recession.

Blog update October 2021

Have written over 24,000 blog posts. 

You know how this happened?

A 1979 dream to write a book to my children. 

We had our first and only child 20-something years later.

Began writing blog posts in 2008 to get some writing practice. Then one seemingly insignificant day at a time in 2009 magic happened.

Closing in on starting year 14 of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Total blog posts from Mid Life Celebration’s 5 daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Two worlds?

The world as this is written (March 31) and the world as it publishes (May 31).

March 31 (today, being written): Today’s five daily, differently-themed blog posts conclude an unheralded 11 consecutive years of five daily posts, without missing a single day.

May 31 (as you read this on its published day): We should be spending our second day in Glacier National Park.

Like a time-capsule, Covid-19 will determine the latter.

Old school blogging from 2008

Old school blogging from 2008.

What?

Back in 2008 when i first began blogging, there was no thought of using photos. It would be years before photos were used.

Why?

There didn’t seem to be a compelling reason in the early years.

Weird.

How weird?

See how there’s no photo today?

That weird.
