We go through our days one at a time and they add up

Delta Bessborough Hotel Saskatoon — Fresh snowfall each day, and well below freezing

We go through our days one at a time and they add up.

One year is 365 of them.

We think this math will go on and on for a long time.

Last night received word a high school classmate and his son were in a car accident.

Sam, 27, married with a young daughter, was tragically lost. Keith was airlifted to Oahu in critical condition.

Was best man at Keith’s wedding a week after we graduated high school in 1977.

What does this wake up call do and to whom is it intended?

There is a special secret with random acts of kindness (RAK)

Saskatoon Church at night in winter — There is a judge, we do not have to concern ourselves with judging

There is a special secret with random acts of kindness (RAK).

Here it is:

We should avoid placing a degree of worthiness on any RAK.

When we evaluate the worthiness, or impact, a RAK might bring, we often decide to not do the RAK because it seems so insignificant.

Often, what we could do we don’t do because it seems too trivial.

How can any RAK ever be trivial?

Playing it safe requires only two things from us

Loner and loser are often what people think of when someone doesn’t comply

When we play it safe all that’s required is doing something ordinary and expected.

People with great ideas start out as loners.

If your goal is to do something impossible, something you’ve never done, something hard, expect it to be a long time before anyone notices.

So much of life is consumed with just going through the motions

Mid Life Celebration book in Las Vegas — Wake up call in a short, easy to read book

So much of life is consumed with just going through the motions.

And nearly everyday we promise ourselves this is gonna change.

Do not fear going slowly.

Fear not going at all.

Any progress is progress.

It adds up.

And it may take years. Decades even.

We never see the tree grow, but it does.

Indeed it does.

Thank you for your email Donna

Daisy in Finland country side — Purity, simplicity, art.

Received an inspiring email from someone who knows the story of the Internet’s Only Five-A-Day Blogger from the beginning. Praying there will be time and energy to write a post to share what it accomplished.

Why does this matter?

Because stories help us make sense of an otherwise boring and uninspiring plethora of insignificant details.
