CXXII (122) Two today

So last night we went to Gage & Tollner for a Birthday dinner for our friend Alex who works as a nurse and is fully vaccinated, and a group of us, her friends, who are all vaccinated as well. It was the first time since before the pandemic that any of us had been to a fancy dinner, and we ended up getting home super late, and after straightening up before turning in, I completely spaced on writing this before I went to bed…

So, I’m gonna write two entries today…. consider this a gap entry?

Yesterday I was listening to The Long and The Short Of It podcast, and they were talking about streaks. What a slippery slope it is to miss a day, how one day can easily become two, and then a week, and pretty soon you can end up taking more off days then on. One of the keys was to get back on the horse as quickly as possible. It’s more about the come back than the streak itself, it comes back to the story we tell ourself. The story I tell myself, and it is a true story, is that I write every day, because I write every day. I wrote several things yesterday, and today I’m gonna write two entries here to make up for the one I missed, because that’s the point.

Get back on the horse. If you go horseback riding, it is possible that you may fall of on a rare occasion. If you ride daily, a rare occasion that you fall off doesn’t make you a horse faller, riding regular makes you a rider. We focus on our missteps, when we should just keep doing the thing. This might not be my best analogy, but I’m gonna keep writing until I find that next level. So, keep writing, keep riding, and keep on doing what you say you want to do.
