True story.
My first photography class was in the morning.
And we learned about the exact thing that I most wanted to learn about. And then I practiced it all day long.
I got my hair cut.
Every single one of them, actually.
I had it all chopped off. continue reading…

Sunday
I cooked all day long!
Okay, I took a break from 3 to 4.
Eating right sure is a lot more effort.
But I’ll have ready-made good stuff for a long time!
Wait, how long does good stuff keep? continue reading…
“You’re a resolution,” I said.
“Oh, I am? Is that how I got you to come here so easily?”
Yep.
Actually, I mean to make this trip every year, but I never do. Somehow the time rolls by, tumbling faster and faster, until the year is worn down to a little nub of a thing. Sometimes it passes me by in a blur. Other times I’m caught up in the tumult, whirling head over heals in the dust. In the end, it all amounts to the same thing: I have not been the master of my own destiny. continue reading…

On June 13th, 2011, I introduced the Thankful pages with this metaphor:
“We are so small and seemingly insignificant in the universal pool of life, but every move we make creates a ripple that grows ever wider, reaching out to and crossing paths with our fellow swimmers. We can float along if we wish. But to keep moving is to continually create these waves of energy, to continually send something out into the world. To swim is to move one’s limbs in a purposeful way. It is also to propel oneself, to move from one location to another, to take yourself to new places. It is to take yourself further.”
And so I had decided that I was ready to stop treading water; I was ready to swim. To be more accurate, I was planning to do a great big cannon ball into the deep end and send plenty of awesome waves out into the world. Then I’d swim with a mighty purpose; I’d propel myself across that pool and intercept some of those same waves that I had sent out.
I would be Thankful! continue reading…
