Blogtober: It’s a Thing!

It’s late: after 11:00 p.m. One last scroll through the online social outlets I enjoy: Instagram and Facebook, mostly. Wouldn’t you know it, I ran across something that caught my eye: Blogtober! The challenge is to write a blog a day for the entire month.

Anyone who has known or followed me prolly knows that I like monthly challenges. Exercise! Kale! Hydration! Journaling! Reading! Practicing Spanish! So when I saw this one, I got a little excited about it.

So here is my first one of the month. I’m starting out enthusiastic. We’ll see how this goes. It will be interesting (to me, anyway) to see what topics I choose to write about. I have no master plan, no themes, no grand design.

Like the old NBC-TV sit-com “Seinfeld,” it might turn out to be a show about nothing. I’m okay with that.

My thought with Blogtober is to just write. Don’t worry too much about editing – just write. Don’t worry about trying to be too clever – just write. It’s more about practice than perfection for me. I suspect that as the month goes on, I’ll come up with more ideas. Just… write.

But for now it’s late and I just wanted to get the first [fledgling] one in the books. Boring, perhaps. But in my thinking, it’s better to begin imperfectly than not at all.

Challenge accepted!

Today I met a lovely woman whose big heart was apparent the moment she walked in the door of the coffee shop. She carried a smile and warm demeanor and greeted me as though we’d known each other for years.

Midlife Skin

The appearance of fine (or not-so-fine) lines on the face. Crepey skin on the legs. Hands that look like somebody’s grandma.

Have you experienced this? I’m seeing it more in myself and today was a wake-up call as I caught my reflection in the mirror.

Integrity With Self

I told myself that I was going to go to the gym for an indoor cycling class today.

I had made the decision and reservation for a space in the class last night. But this morning it was a wintry mix of snow and rain – slop, really – and as I was sitting toasty warm and cozy by the heater looking out the window, I decided that I didn’t need to be going out in that mess. Snuggling up and reading a book sounded like a more fitting – and safer – option.

It’s a Wonderful Life at the Egyptian Theater

In our town of Boise, Idaho, we have a place called The Egyptian Theater. It’s a wonderful old restored theater decorated with pharoahs and gold-gilded Egyptian symbols. It’s kind of awesome. The place seats a bunch of people (1000?).
