Blogging world record, spirit

wordpress archived posts screenshot
JeffNoel.org “archived blogs” widget showing earliest posts began October 2008. This was the first website i wrote a blog post on.

Wrote my very first blog post October 17, 2008.

Jeff Noel.org was the only ‘JeffNoel’ internet real estate available.

The big three domain categories in priority value order:

  1. .com
  2. .org
  3. .net

Jeff Noel.com was registered to an Arizona, State Farm Agent.

Jeff Noel.net to a musician.

Jeff Noel.org was the only one of the three ‘big ones’ that was available. Jumped on it.

Then jumped on GoDaddy’s “Domain Name Backorder” feature. For a nominal fee, you pay to get in line (first come, first served) to secure an abandoned or expired domain name. GoDaddy gives owners 60 days, with multiple reminders and notices. After 60 days, if you’re first in line, you automatically secure it.

That’s why i didn’t get Jeff Noel.com until March 2009.

Why so busy?

First Robin of the Florida winter season
Winter arrives silently in Florida – no snow to announce its arrival. In 18 years, i forgot to log it twice. And three times it hasn’t happened until January, like yesterday.

 

 

The reason i struggle with so many things in life isn’t that God is absent.

The reason is that i allow myself to get busier than i can handle.

A quiet moment (in a busy morning) yesterday alerted me to the sound of a Robin Red Breast.

A prayer for overflowing fortitude

Inspiring quote about perspective
The guy in front of me at a race viewing point.

 

A prayer for overflowing fortitude – courage in adversity – as a developing adult, and as parents of developing adults.

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.

 

Have fun and try to comprehend the many blessings

High School Cross Country practice
Early mornings, like 6:40am yesterday, are the best time.

 

Yesterday morning’s practice was easy and short in preparation for today’s exhibition meet. Have fun and try to comprehend the many blessings that have led you to this moment. The list is long yet invisible if you don’t consciously focus on it.
