Mischievous

UPDATE 2026: What’s happening is the weather. Rain this morning, sunshine later today. It’s all good.

UPDATE 2025: “Don’t Die!” is something Voldemort would espouse. “Stay Alive!” is closer to the wizard, Harry Potter”.

UPDATE 2024: Beliefs: 1. Women have a choice 2. No doubt there is a Highest power 3. Science seeks the Truth 4. Sex, like art, is what you make it 5. All good people are welcome to be a great country, yet scoundrels slide. It’s best to have a bias toward goodness unless proven otherwise.

UPDATE 2023: While the snail & snake proved to be problematic, and the mollusk impossible, at least I think I’m over Covid-19. Got one new YOGA pose out of all the suffering. It’s called Sleeping Bear; a good body position for taking the next breath while trying to sleep in the middle of the night.

Make Planning a Habit

Every day at 1:15 pm, write down three tasks even if you don’t plan to do them right away. Notice the pattern.

Journal Entry (3/3/23): One whole week (so far) with Covid-19, which up until now, had been avoided.

I’m grateful to modern medicine for keeping me alive; but humanity gets the blame for spreading this disease.

Freshness

At the time I now write of, Father Mapple was in the hardy winter of a healthy old age; that sort of old age which seems merging into a second flowering youth, for among all the fissures of his wrinkles, there shone certain mild gleams of a newly developing bloom–the spring verdure peeping forth even beneath February’s snow.
