I had a hard time getting to sleep last night. A bunch of tension and anxiety. Even though I knew exactly what was going on and how my mind was convincing me of an imaginary conversations. It gave me the perfect opportunity to practice what I've learned from my reading in Breakfast with Seneca. That … Continue reading Stopping and not sleeping
I think I'm going to need a new tag for my blog. This one will be called, "lessons to remember." Yes, a great note to myself. And why do I come to this decision? Because I had a realization I know I've had before: that I need to draw more. Okay, it actually is a … Continue reading Devil in the details
It seemed like a breath. It was there and then gone again. A ghost? Could it be something real? Just a moment of emotion. How could one tell if it was there or not. There, here, anywhere. A doubt? Was it just imagination? Just a laugh on the wind. It seemed like a heartbeat. It … Continue reading There
I began setting up my tracking spreadsheet last night. Still trying to get used to it. Still have a lot of work to do, but at least it's a start. I feel like I've learned a lot today and gotten a lot done, even though it's just been in small segments. But that's the plan, … Continue reading Every day better
“Any years behind us are already in the hands of death.” Seneca This week, I’ve been reading Breakfast with Seneca by David Fideler. It seemed appropriate that I read that quote above this morning as we are about to put 2022 to rest. 2022 hasn’t been a bad year, but it hasn’t been great either. … Continue reading 2022 in the hands of death
I’ve decided that my word for 2023 is going to be “consistency.” All ready I feel it to be a challenge. I’ve said before that I find it hard to be consistent. I’ve even been surprised at being able to blog daily for almost a year and a half now. Even the evening routine I … Continue reading Consistent thoughts
This weekend did something (amazing, I hope) for me. Other than just being fun, I learned that I am more capable than I think I am. As I get older and feel myself losing the strength and flexibility I once knew, and I see things not working out as I’d once hoped, I find self-doubt … Continue reading Self-doubt takes a loss
Since yesterday's blog, I've been considering what motivates me and what I need to get over a few hurdles. I know that seeing numbers increasing quickly inspires me. Little numbers or slow going frustrates me. I like to close my rings. Goal achieved trophies are cool, but little motivational "you did it, now keep going" … Continue reading Knowledge with gauges
I sometimes forget that this isn't a rush and I get into a hurry. Yesterday was such a day. It's hard to want to be at a certain destination and have the kids in the back seat yammering, "Are we there yet?" Add a nagging critical voice and it just becomes unbearable. Anything to get … Continue reading Stopping the noise, maybe
The above quote which is the title of this blog comes from Danny Gregory. Earlier today, I had many things I wanted to share. Now, I’m feeling a little downtrodden. I think, perhaps, that I need to digest some of the work I did today. Or, maybe I’ll wake up tomorrow and discover that today … Continue reading Root your life in passion
