You know what?

The intentionality in this photo is too much to explain. Cheryl knows. Chapin gets it. And of course, i orchestrated it.

You know what, a couple weeks ago i started asking myself, “Do you want to continue daily writing/blogging?”

The question is new for me.

The answer is, “Not sure.”

Ps. The Glacier posts may be refined, shortened, and otherwise re-crafted. It was a good rough draft but i find it verbose.

Worth the risk?

Bear danger is real because so many visitors have no clue how to sensibly behave in the wild.

Worth the risk to publish 10 consecutive days of photo-free posts?

Yes.

Why?

Because of the experiments from several months ago.

Remember?

Posts with text only.

Posts with photos only.

Posts with videos only.

The original experiments where small risks at the time.

There was setup and “warning” about the coming changes.

Explained the “why”.

What seemed like a (small) risk at the time was simply a slow and steady way to improve.

Improve what?

Improve the ability to manage life and a daily, two-hour (average) writing commitment. And, the advent of some major life changes on the horizon.

Worth noting

Worth noting that this prolific writing is always under current, real time life conditions.

Meaning, there’s always something present or something hidden around the corner. Issues, situations, challenges, emergencies, priorities, etc.

As you know from your own life, there are days with great weather, average weather, and stormy weather.

Under every condition, no matter the severity or bliss, writing prevails.

Writing never takes a day off.

Ever.

Photos breathe life

In Montreal to deliver a Disney Customer Service Keynote Speech, 2015.

Photos breathe life into almost everything, including blog posts.

This is why i always use them.

Now into the 14th consecutive year writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts, the first few years where just text. No photos.

Why?

Probably didn’t know how to add photos. Or maybe the process was cumbersome. Don’t recall exactly.

Can remember vividly when the WordPress operating system made it easier, i began using photos and have never deviated.

Why?

Because photos help tell a story or make a point better than words, generally.

God, i love to write

hotel room desk
August 2009. Lahti, Finland hotel room. At this point i’ve been writing five daily, differently-themed blogs for roughly 120 consecutive days. The goal was 100 consecutive days. In Finland, there’s no need to keep writing five blogs a day, but i wondered if it was possible to double the original goal and make it 200 consecutive days. Now we are well over 4,000 consecutive days. Action trumps intentions…

God, i love to write.

End of (this) story.
