Day 55: Wait
I have a confession to make: I’m a line jumper. Yup, I’m that guy you see in the supermarket, looking from one line to the next and then jumping to whichever one appears “quicker.” I do it on the highway … Continue reading
Day 54: Support
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about how I had an easier time taking the lead than I did following someone else’s suggestions. While I hadn’t thought of it this way at first, it turns out that today’s focus … Continue reading
Day 53: Refresh
OK, today’s is a two-part challenge… and to do the second part tonight would mean scurrying out to the Farmer’s Market in the next twenty minutes, and that’s not going to happen. It seems like a much better idea to … Continue reading
Day 52: Nap
Wow, this so feels like a cheat today. I mean, come on: nap??!? I went back and forth with titles before I got started here. I’ve been trying not to recycle challenges by name, though certainly there are plenty of … Continue reading

Day 48: Appreciate
Early on in this process (all of 48 days ago), I wrote that I was going to keep these blog posts as short–and as simple–as I could. Today is certainly one of those days when I need to remind myself … Continue reading
Day 47: Underthink
I tend to overthink. And as an old friend of mine used to say: “When I’m in my head, I’m behind enemy lines.” I’ve been traveling today–drove about 300 miles, just me and the road for five hours. I’m going … Continue reading
Day 46: Unshoe
After socks come shoes, right? I have what I consider to be a modest collection of footwear–two pairs of dress shoes (brown and black), one pair of casual shoes, two pairs of boots, and a pair of trail shoes. Oh, … Continue reading
