Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
About every three years i’m tempted to skip a day of blogging. Today was one of those days. While it’s only 8:30pm (yes, pm), i’m running on fumes.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good tired.
Yet, i’d love to close my eyes, right now, until morning.

We see inspirational messages about how someone started doing something unremarkable but over time it actually became remarkable because the person is still doing the same thing.
In a Universe full of “i got tired of it and stopped”, there’s a chance that the arrival – advent – of the eighth consecutive year of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts could be the start of something remarkable.
It never was, and still isn’t, the goal.
That’s probably the coolest part of the whole thing.

Today becomes the 2,400th consecutive day of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts…12,000 posts:
Mind • Body • Spirit • Work • Home
Prior to April Fools Day 2009, i had not gone more than three consecutive days, and had never written five posts in a single day.
The genesis was a self-imposed 100-day writer’s bootcamp.
The pre-genesis was the 1979 promise (as a college Junior) i made to write a book of wisdom “for my kids”.

Imagine taking 30 years to fulfill a promise to ourselves (and our family).
That’s how long it took me.
The guilt would come and go until it literally it disappeared altogether.
Thank goodness for a serious midlife wakeup call.
Baby Boomers suffer from chronic self-bullying.
Lies.
Inspiring promises we made to ourselves but never kept. Never delivered on.
Imagine a rose bush full of wonderful buds, but for some reason, the buds never open. Ever.
The original promise was in 1979 as a college Junior. “i promise to write a book about the most important things in life, for my children”.
i never intended to become a prolific blogger. In fact, it was consistent failure (and not writing consistently) that led to a crazy, self-imposed writing challenge on April Fools Day 2009… write five differently-themed blogs (about balance) for 100 straight days.

The following is from two nights ago…decided it is blog worthy today…
Typing this in the dark.
We have these moments in life that surprise us at first but then they don’t.
Lying in bed right now, on this Easter Sunday night, a moment.
And the thing is, our little moments are insignificant to the rest of the world.
But they astonish us.
Six years ago, couldn’t write my way out of a wet paper bag.
But started writing anyway. And as a result, in just five more days, the 11,000th blog post will go public.
Relish your insignificant moments, because no one else will.
But that doesn’t mean your moment isn’t significant.
It is.
And use your moment to create more moments.
