Neglect has an insidious way of crushing us

Tree growing through a fence
How this caught my eye is a mystery.

Neglect has an insidious way of crushing us.

And it started a long time ago with being really busy.

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.

Adding photos doubles the blogging time

Disney example of intentionality
Photos tell stories…remember the photo from here?

 

Adding photos doubles my blogging time. For many weeks, i haven’t added photos to the five daily posts. This expedites the morning writing process and allows for more time on other pressing business issues.

Today is the first day using photos, since experimenting with photo-less posts.

Even more convinced than before of the time investment photos require.

But it doesn’t answer my question whether this should be a permanent decision.

Too tired to pray?

Nope.

Grateful for places like St Jude and people like Danny Thomas.

Lent 2016 began yesterday

Sandwich making habits
Even something as trivial as making a sandwich is one of our personal rituals. Do you put peanut butter on one or both slices?

 

Lent 2016 began yesterday.

Didn’t make it to Mass.

Didn’t grow up Catholic.

The better our excuses, the easier it is to fail.

i had really good excuses yesterday.

Rituals become rituals because humans need these things to help them to not forget what is important (assuming they say Lent is important).
