How on Earth did this happen?

Since 2009, been coming here to write.

 

How on Earth did this happen?

Six days from beginning the ninth consecutive year of writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts about life’s five big choices: mind, body, spirit, work, home.

Back to, “How did this happen?”

i don’t know.

But i do know that i thrive on it.

Eighth Anniversary Eve

Lake McDonald
For the past four Summers, i’ve  written from here.

 

Eighth Anniversary Eve is today.

Eight years ago, on the eve of April Fools Day 2009, i was about to launch something that i thought was destined to fail.

Write five daily, differently-themed blog posts for 100 consecutive days.

So tomorrow, guess what, the ninth year begins.

When you ask yourself, what have i done to inspire myself, do you have a handful of astonishing accomplishments?

Day after Christmas 2016 and the dawn of year 9

Day after Christmas 2016 and the dawn of year 9.

As always, my writing resides in the present and the future.

Kinda like a pre-recorded television series.

Filmed before a live audience, but recorded and saved for showing later.

Christmas at my childhood home was quiet and relaxed yesterday.

As i reflect on that today, December 26, i’m excitedly aware that when this post goes live, there are six days until the ninth year of daily writing begins.

Absolutely mind-blowing.

Writing a minimum of two hours a day, everyday, is no big deal

Passed this everytime i used the Marriott elevator to access my room.

Writing a minimum of two hours a day, everyday, is no big deal.

Seems impossible.

And it was, until i discovered it isn’t.

So now, less than 24 hours from tomorrow morning (April Fools Day 2016), i begin writing one book a month for seven consecutive months.

Impossible?

Yep.

Just like all the other bull crap lines i fed myself in the past.

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.

Disney retirement update

Florida homeowner swimming pool
Sometimes i work while floating on a raft.

 

Two days away from the end of my first year of Disney retirement.

Just yesterday i told a former Disney Institute colleague (he asked how i was enjoying retirement), “i’m working harder than ever, just not as much”.

Today is not a good day to put your dreams on hold.

Or is it?
