i am a wretch

Nature trail
From a Florida Zoo, mercy and kindness extended to a tree.

 

i am a wretch.

Even though i thought i was ‘good’.

So on April Fool’s Day 2009 i began the day on my knees, saying three special prayers.

  1. The Lord’s Prayer
  2. Hail Mary
  3. A special prayer i created as an extension of “saying Grace”

This is, coincidently, the same day i began the 100-day writer’s bootcamp.

Same result too.

Haven’t missed a single day.

Ever.

This train of thought continues with “i felt i deserved a raise at work” at the next Blog

After school program for one

Hugs
Hugs are free, simple and easy.

 

After school programs help many students, privileged and underprivileged.

Is there was one after school program that could be administered every single day?

And what if the cost was nothing?

Would you ensure your child was enrolled?

We are finishing up the 11th year in a few weeks.

Haven’t missed a single day.

After school.

A program that requires one parent and one child and about 10 seconds.

A generous hug, a little kiss on the cheek or shoulder, and an “I love you”.

Should it be this easy and is it showing off?

Montessori World Middle School classroom
Thankful everyday for this middle school classroom and teacher.

 

Can you easily make a decent daily list of blessings without too much thought?

Yesterday i was thankful for:

  1. Mother-In-Law’s successful heart ablation surgery and dismissal from the hospital.
  2. Having a teen who is maturing nicely.
  3. Having an old car that always starts.
  4. Having really nice running shoes.
  5. Having the motivation to exercise regularly.
  6. Living amongst the world’s best theme parks.
  7. Having a world-class Orlando Gold’s Gym nearby.
  8. Having healthcare insurance to cover most of my physical therapy.
  9. Being a small business entrepreneur with big dreams.
  10. Having 30 years of Disney experience from which to build the business.
  11. Having a Twistee Treat Ice Cream place two blocks from school.
  12. Etc, etc.

Writing five daily, free, differently themed blogs for 2.1k+ consecutive days is one of the most ridiculously impossible goals anyone could ever imagine.

Thankful for that too. Everyday.

What is an impossible challenge?

Lee Cockerell book signing
Lee Cockerell had a long line of people wanting an autograph.

 

There is no greater wisdom than kindness. Thank you for yours – your generous donation of your time to read all five daily blogs.

Yes, it’s taken two hours a day for the past 2,290 consecutive days. But the way it’s changed the writer is beyond a miracle.

It began with an impossible challenge to write two hours a day for 100 days in a row, back in 2009.

These types of impossible challenges are available to everyone.
