When I strolled up to the counter I ordered the usual. “One Endless Expectation with the bar set too high please.” But the Universe was serving up the fare that day and I walked away with something entirely different in my box. It seemed a little heavier when I took delivery. But I paid little notice and went to gather … Read More
Post 64 – What have I…
Done Miracles and muddles. Accomplished I have accomplished getting up too early. I have accomplished getting up too late. I have accomplished getting up at all. I am braver than I was before. This is not to say that I haven’t done many things considered “brave” in my life, but from the core of me I am now a braver … Read More
Post 63 – In Spite Of vs Because Of
Having heard for the very first time the quote you read from Kent Keith I feel all the more satisfied for I would keep doing what I do… Anyway. Many thanks, ~ Michaele P.S. Michael Neill, I wanted you to know I got my “money’s worth” on day one and it has only compounded in interest from there. Please accept … Read More
Post 62 – Re: Day 85
Michael Neill (or Terri or Joe), The recording comes to a screeching nothingness and gives its version of a wet raspberry with the ?code? NaN:Na, or occasionally, NaN:NaN. Catchy, but incomprehensible. I will presume that it consists of fantastic pearls of wisdom. As such, because I already know the meaning of life is 42 and that we’re all just fodder … Read More
Post 61 – It is in the trying that the doing is done…
Hello everyone! It seems I kind of fell down the Un-well last Thursday eve, barely made the call with Sara on Friday (though certainly not upright), listened through the cottonous fog that was masquerading as my brain to the recording on Saturday, have no idea what transpired Sunday but it seemed pleasant enough since I no longer was writhing in … Read More
Post 60 – Going Full Tilt
Just for a moment or two today I am wallowing in the feeling that some unseen force is greatly amusing itself, yet again, at my expense by trying to stuff me into the fabric of Cervantes’ “The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha” to see the world through the eyes of the main character as he tilts at windmills … Read More
Post 59 – Assessing the Oddments
If past experience is to rule out, it is very unlikely that I should wind up where I have set out to, or should I arrive there, that I should be the same person who set out when I left. This conundrum of thought can be upsetting, off putting or downright glorious depending upon my assessment and the conditions I … Read More
Post 58 – Time for Day 80!
My next book is like an excited new puppy suddenly released from chronogenic sleep that wants to play all the time. So I’m off to spend the time before the call throwing a rubber ball for it. Because it’s super fun and if I don’t give it my attention, well, it might just bark up the wrong tree… Hugs, ~ … Read More
Post 57 – Hello All
It has been quietly snowing here since the small hours, covering everything in a blanket of white. The trees come alive and toss it from their arms every now and again as it becomes too heavy for them to hold. The pink blossoms on our peach trees look like ornaments dangling below the moist dark brown branches laden high with … Read More
Post 56 – For Better or Worse
Long ago and far away I was betrothed to a story that left me stranded on a castle top, making do, waiting for someone to see my distress signal and save me. The tale told me over and over again “You’re Okay at doing business stuff for others, but when it comes to yourself, it’s really difficult, almost impossible to … Read More
