Journal: #182 Smile At Pain, Carry On
My brain is fried. I spent 15 hours over the last two days because my web developer decided to split. So that’s cool. The deadline for the project was yesterday, but I got it mostly finished. The customer is annoyed but will be happy. Sometimes it be like that.
On top of work frustrations, I received some shitty news about someone I love. Sometimes it be like that. I am sad for them but all I can do (literally) is pray, love, and support them. But…that’s not all. This moment- the isolation, the work crap, the personal shit- would’ve taken me down a few years ago.
Not today Satan. Today, it does not be like that.
Instead of being focused on the difficult aspects of my life on this cool January evening, I choose to look at what’s going right. Tonight I’m going to celebrate being of half way to some of my goals, short-term and long-term.
This is overdue, but this blog post is my 182nd as I push for 330 by July 11th. I started blogging on that date in 2020 not knowing where this would lead. I didn’t know I’d fall in love with this process. I have roughly 170 days to write the next 148 posts. I’m stoked.
As of today, I am 25 day into my 45 consecutive days goal of 10k+ steps per day. The true goal is to smash 45 days.
And, I am 28 days into a 45 day goal of consecutive blogging. I think…my consecutive day streak is in the mid 30’s. I should smash that.
Plus, I’m super stoked about the wire sculptures I started creating. No goal there. Only joy and holy pleasure.
Whatever life is or is not, what we do with it is thing. I wasn’t very good at responding to life when it got rough. I relish the opportunity to laugh at it now.
Love y’all.
