Footprints

Footprints

  

We, you and I, leave footprints everywhere.  I’ve written over 2000 blogs since 2009.  Someday, I’ll no longer write, and my wife and grandkids will have to decide what to do with all this ‘stuff’ I’ve written. 

I’m leaving footprints. 

The memories each one has of me is a footprint.  I hope it is a good and impressionable one. 

I’ve walked in the footprints of giants who have gone before me.  Maybe my footprints will lead to some good for those who follow.

Maybe!

It Takes Guts to Make Mistakes

It Takes Guts to Make Mistakes

It takes guts to make mistakes.  Seth Godin, for one, really pushes this idea.  His advice is, paraphrased, "make lots of mistakes, get them out of the way so we can see the good stuff.”

I’ve written over 2000 blog posts over the past eight years.  Not all are winners.  Not all are marketable.  And I write some more.  A few have received over 10,000 clicks.  I’m amazed. 

I also know those would never have come if I had not written the bad ones. 

And so, I write.

And so, we make mistakes so we can get better.

Really!

Stop for One Minute

Stop for One Minute

Stop!  Just for one minute.  Look out whatever window is nearby.  What do you see? 

Be in the moment?  Do you see a bird or birds?  Watch how they glide, how they land. 

I saw a squirrel doing whatever squirrels do.  He would scamper, hop, jump and run, then stop, work over something on the ground and then move on.

It’s a lovely sunny evening tonight, after a long and dastardly winter-into-spring time.  I see the occasional auto headed to unknown destinations.  I wish them safe travels.

And we are at peace.  We’re listening to a great jazz pianist, comfortable in our bed, satisfied after a delicious dinner.

What a nice moment to reflect.
