Something i cannot explain because it was never a goal, never a desire, never even the smallest thought.
For the past 2,779 days, five daily, differently-themed blog posts (on 5 separate sites) have been written.
Not one day off.
Ever.
In 21 more days, this will equate to 14,000 blog posts.
Feeling incapable in describing it, and inadequate in explaining it.
Note: Since today’s post was written 90 days ago, 450 additional blog posts are added, pushing the total well past 14k.

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.
Allentown Dieruff High School tour prior to reunion.
Allentown’s Dieruff High School opened in 1959…the 1st Cross Country team.
About a dozen classmates and a few spouses took the High School tour.
Library display.
Public High School weight room.
Allentown Dieruff High School lobby.
Our table.
Final class dance.
Head Majorette and her guest last night.
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?
Final photo last night.
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.

Two days ago…neither of us recalled the Owl being so big.
Caution, borderline self-indulgent post. But i needed to hear myself say this today.
Knowing that i am compelled to say something tomorrow about what i learned yesterday, what i get to do today, and what i hope for tomorrow, i notice things in glorious, simple ways i would never tap into if i didn’t write every day.
And what i learned, get to do, and hope for might help someone else on their journey to live like they mean it.
Every.
Day.
Five differently-themed blogs.
On five different websites.
Since April Fools Day, 2009.
Yeah, seven and a half years, five-a-day, never missing a day.
Ever.
Impossible.
(note: 65 days from 8 consecutive years…insane)

Seven and one-half years ago (and 13k+ posts) i was seduced into thinking that writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts would change my life.
It did, but not for the reason that got me started.
i began because i was desperately trying to figure out how to write that book to our child – the book i had promised to write 30 years prior – for which the first sentence was still to be written.
It was supposed to be a 100-day, self-imposed writer’s bootcamp to gain practice for writing a book.
And you, dear writing, you had another plan.
On day 101, with no commitment nor obligation to continue writing five daily, differently-themed posts, i continued anyway.
It’s been 2,723 days consecutive days.
