16 April Fools Days

Basketball game on tv — Yesterday, March 31, 2024.

Paper sales receipt — Also yesterday. Rhonda, who sold us some Glacier art in Whitefish Montana last week, went the extra inch with her handwritten note on the sales receipt. She didn’t have to, nor did we expect it. That’s what makes it Magic.

Woman standing next to touring bicycle — Had no idea in 1983-84 that it would be two decades before we became parents. Finally becoming parents was also Magic.

Magic is when something unexpectedly surprising and delightful happens. i knew the day to stop blogging might come, but never knew if, or when.

i knew the day would come, but never knew when.

Now i know.

The decision happened fast.

Definitely surprising.

Definitely unexpected.

Too early to tell if it’s delightful.

That’s the fun part of life, the adventure that the future offers.

Make no mistake, since 2009 the thought of stopping surfaced occasionally. Sometimes years between the thoughts. Sometimes weeks.

And most recently, three days ago, two days ago, yesterday, and now today.

Blog anniversary (not) in GNP, home

i have no idea how an impossible 2009 April Fools Day, 100-day self-imposed writer’s bootcamp challenge morphed into the start of a 16th consecutive year in 2024.

It’s not impossible that i write five daily, differently-themed blog posts until the day i die.

Organizing well is a privilege

It is a privilege to sort out your priorities.

Having priorities is common.

However, prioritizing your priorities is not common.

But you know that what is common sense is rarely common.

You strive to be a common person.

What a privilege to be organized.

To not is to dismiss your privilege.

Why?

If it ain’t obvious, imagine living your lifetime in a fashion opposite of being organized.

Which is more difficult, living with discipline or living with regret?

What an authentic personal privilege to organize your personal culture (your lifetime habits) outcomes. You get to discern what is common sense; what any rational person would say is a ‘no-brainer’ outcome.
