Two Challenges to Consider

A coworker of mine is doing a "Hundred Happy Days" challenge. Each day she finds something that makes her happy. Then she takes a picture of it and writes a little caption for Facebook. I've been contemplating a writing version of that challenge for myself.

Another writing challenge i plan to start soon is my hundred things. I read a while back one way to pare down is to contemplate which 100 items you would deem most necessary or useful, and then get rid of everything else. While i'm nowhere near that level of "freedom" yet, i do thoroughly intend to reflect on not only what i deem necessary but why. It should be quite a project.

Alas, Poor Blog, It's Been So Long!

I have a very strong drive to write, and truthfully i'm writing and editing in my mind almost continuously, in my waking and non-waking moments. I could not believe the date of my "last" post when i logged in today. it makes me a little sad when i think of all the other things that "get in the way" or get deemed "more important" than those things that bring me joy or a moment of honest expression. I've already re-read the first three sentences twice and forgotten what i was going to write next, but i shall let it stand to mark this place in time where i chose a moment to just write.

I hope that rekindling the fire shall produce some more impressive and regular results in future.
