This test will be repeated every day until you die

This test repeats itself every day until you die.

You make, or don’t make a decision, and then you wonder if you did the right thing.

Or, you agonize over not making the best decision and beat yourself up. You know what you should have done, but you didn’t.

This doubt and corresponding fear become an insidious habit. You justify this in your mind. The security in playing it safe feels better than the opportunity in being brave.

A time capsule from 1972 (freshman year for Dieruff’s class of 1976). The article is ridiculous old yet how did advertising people think it had integrity?

Writer’s flood.

Too many thoughts.

Too many lessons.

Too many memories.

From just a single day.

Yesterday.

But i will try to say a lot in today’s five posts, without writing a lot.

Wish me luck.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Everyday is guaranteed to be ordinary

quote about balance
Balance should not be elusive.

 

Today, like every single day since April Fools Day 2009, five brief posts are offered up to relish the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, work, and home.

The purpose of these five daily blog posts is to warm up for the day ahead. To contemplate how we will balance our daily energy so we never feel unbalanced.

Everyday is guaranteed to be ordinary. Extra-ordinary days are up to us. Note to self: be an over-achiever.

Mystery blog, where art thou

Wrote five daily blogs yesterday, including this one. However, now, a day later, the post is gone. Not even the automated “save” feature on WordPress kept a copy.

Hard to believe, but i don’t recall what i wrote.

So, i’m moving on with my morning to write the five new posts that will be available tomorrow, August 13.

No one can make you do this every morning

Orlando Sunrise
A few minutes ago, January 30, 2016.

 

Yesterday marked 30 years to the day for the Challenger disaster.

A few days before that marked three years since a friend took his life at work.

Almost daily, each of us is faced with world events and personal events that are painful and senseless.

No one is immune to this distant (world) and close (personal) pain and confusion.

We must greet the day with joy, hope, and gratitude.

Well, we don’t have to, and that’s the point of this post.
