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.

Got margin?

Windermere Prep
Yesterday afternoon at school…sitting and thinking.

 

Got margin?

i define margin as padding in your daily schedule for breathing room. Enough extra time to drive the speed limit. Enough extra time to stop and talk to someone for a few minutes. Enough extra time to look at the sky.

Time to watch, listen, think.

Time to enjoy something ridiculously simple, like a child’s art in a banker’s office, and then talk to the banker about it.

Giving back should never feel like work

Giving back should never feel like work, even though your time is precious and you don’t always have time when someone asks for it.

Yet you do your best to make it work.

Why?

Because that’s what others have done to help you get where you are today.

It’s good (midlife) karma.

Organizing the love and the hate

Incline abdominal bench
Love hate relationship with this one. Mostly love.

 

Being organized applies to things we often forget need organizing.

Take priorities for example.

Regular, ongoing exercise does not happen when we are not organized.

Cool weather and silly rewards

High School spirit week
Freshman jump to an early lead during Spirit Week.

 

Cool weather and silly awards. On the short drive home from the High School safety assembly, i stopped at Publix for a few groceries.

It was a surprising wonderful few moments.

Parking in the shade, the car windows already down, there was a great song on the radio. i sat in the car until it was over, and couldn’t remember the last time i did that without feeling the stress of being late.

The Fall air was cooled even further by the breeze and walking in in just a t-shirt felt wonderful.

Without a list, i grabbed a cart and began in the produce section and casually worked my way around.

Made (unrushed) small talk with employees at two stations. And had a nice talk with the young man who pushed the groceries to the car and loaded them in.

To top it off, as i turned onto our street, the family who will soon be breaking ground next to us sat on a blanket under an Oak tree – later they shared they were having a prayer service for all the animals (including the ants) that will be displaced by their future home.
