Photos breathe life

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.

Thank God for writing

Thank God for writing.

Some of best things are happening now.

Some of the worst are happening now.

Writing brings a clarity to thinking that is only accessible through writing.

Writing is therapy.

Writing, it would seem the past week, has been life saving.

Thank you God, for the desire to write.

Not sure where to start today

Pastor on a Church stage
Day started here, 9:30 AM Service, Pastor Russ. First time in front row since Covid. And, maskless.

After prolific blog writing for 13+ years and 24k+ blog posts, the writer’s flood model continues to be tried and true:

  • What did i learn yesterday?
  • What do i get to do today?
  • What do i hope for tomorrow?
  • Five balanced topics: mind, body, spirit, work, home
  • Photos from yesterday (or any day/year)

Occasionally, there’s so much to say, that short and pithy seem impossible.

Will focus only on yesterday’s bi-annual Homeowner’s association meeting.

The aim is short and pithy insights.

Better today

misdirected request
Quit writing everyday? You gotta be kidding me. Serendipitous this photo was found for today. Note: wasn’t looking for this photo, but as soon as it appeared, it was…bullseye!

Feeling better today.

Back on Earth.

Mars is an interesting planet.

Few conveniences.

Walt Disney World, home on Earth.

Conveniences galore.

Just needed to write it down.

The part about quitting writing.

Whew!
