Taking the day off, work

18-sec video: Florida Black Racer. Barely visible. But I spotted it while taking a short sit-down break.

Taking the day off from blogging seems like a ridiculous thought, let alone a ridiculous thing to type.

Yeah, like that is ever gonna happen.

But seriously.

The hours i spent today thinking about a simple, repetitive sentence. Unusually invested in ‘almost nothing’.

Anyway, am surprised to see the words flow well past one sentence copied and pasted on each blog.

Spent a lot of time thinking about how to blog with a single sentence for all blogs.

When doing manual and enjoyable labor, tending to your landscape (garden), there’s plenty of ‘thinking time’.

Blogging’s hidden blessing, work

Blogging question
The answer is obvious if it’s not already obvious.

Five-a-day, everyday, without missing a day, since April Fools Day, 2009. What a blessing.

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

Blogging grants me the blessing of sharing what i want, when i want, in the way i want. Blogging allows me to do this prolifically too.

It’s free, except for an annual website hosting plan and two hours of your day, everyday.

i love MacBooks

i love MacBooks.

Macs are simply bigger screens than iPhones and iPads. Sometimes, that feels great, even necessary. So having a bigger screen often makes what is already easy, even easier. i like having the option.

Plus, Mac OS has more power and versatility than iPhone’s iOS.

The size and weight, however, make MacBook portability challenging.

Cannot imagine life without a MacBook to use whenever the need or desire arrives.

i love trying new writing things

i love trying new writing things.

Blogging first offered me daily writing practice.

But daily blogging (modern word for writing and publishing) over the past 16+ years has offered more than writing practice.

Blogging has offered creative ways to experiment with writing. Blogging has opened doors (and windows) for expressing new ways to write and publish.

And don’t even get me started on the crazy list of book ideas blogging teases me with.

What’s the point?

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Maybe someday Cheryl and i will pose with a grandchild. No expectation. We always play the hand we’re dealt.

Have you ever surrendered yourself to something? Something you don’t understand, but just feel inside that fighting it will never work?

Note: i’ve surrendered to the idea of prolific blogging. When it’s time to stop, i guess i’ll wrestle with the correct decision. And since i’ve seriously wrestled with stopping several times since 2009, the decision has always been to continue.
