When habits are changed, new life is born

Happy Autumnal Equinox!

Not the salutation we’d expect on January 1, 2015.

Feeling on fire with anticipation today?

That’s the magic of challenging the way we’ve always done things.

Writing this on September 23, 2014, it’s so easy to taste the future yet savor the current moment and the days ahead.

Like double dipping.

Last January 1st, as an experiment in humility, began omitting key words:

I, my, me, or mine.

A major life transition is something we wait for all our lives.

When habits are changed, new life is born

But if we don’t find creative, purposeful ways to change, guess what happens?

Nothing.

A year from now we’ll wish we had started something today.

Living in two places is an extraordinarily different experience

Clock on the wall

 

(photo: From last night in our Church’s PREP Class office. Who has time to read five daily blogs about balance?)

Heading to Texas on a business trip in an hour and taking our son (14). Have promised to do this on a regular basis and but it has never happened.

Why?

Busy.

Distracted.

But not too busy or too distracted to write five daily, differently-themed blog posts about life’s big choices.

And yes, even though this is being written on September 17, am fully aware that yesterday was Christmas day (when this goes live on Dec 26).

To live in two places (now and the future) is an extraordinarily different experience than just living in one.

Another experiment the final week in 2014…

Katie’s future is so bright, it reminds us of us

Katie’s future is so bright, it reminds us of us. She and her classmates have something most Baby Boomers will never have again – youth.

And a limitless (for now) hopeful optimism for endless possibilities.

The relentless attack of the real world, stronger and seemingly more brutal with each passing decade, hasn’t hit them yet as a homeowner, parent, and career obligated adult.

While we can wish that they’ll be immune from this, we know it ain’t gonna happen.

Ever take a trip back to today?

blog experimentation
Experimenting with the side columns and everything else too.

Is today May 4th or February 4th? Actually, it’s both. Have you ever gone back to today? Stay with me here… Day in, day out, you do what you do plus you have the opportunity to creatively be better at it. Or not.

I blog. A lot. Daily. Five different blogs. You get that (I know). Ever wonder how I’ve been able to not miss a day in over three years – all five blogs, 1129 days in a row?

Today is actually February 4, Cheryl’s birthday. This post will go public in 90 days (today, May 4). Confusing? It’s an experiment. A mindset. To try to become better at what I do.
