Seashells have been speaking to me my entire life, begging me to pick them up and put them in my pocket, asking me to take them home. Mostly, I oblige. Today I pay them a little homage.
I decided today that for each color of the rainbow (plus a few bonus colors) I would choose one - ONE! - thing on planet earth that looks just fantastic in that color.
I asked my brother David for a word today, and it took him about three seconds to come up with something so obscure that I had to Google it. This is the result.
I asked Hello Kitty if she wanted to be my word today, and she was so excited by the idea. We debated it a bit, and whether Hello Kitty could count as one word, and decided that yes, yes it could.
Today was a good work day, which got me thinking about work, which got me thinking about work-life balance. But there is no such thing. It's really work-life integration. Doing all the things that are part of your existence without one consuming the other like a parasite.
Breathe a sigh because I'm giving both of us as break today. Me from writing all the words, and you from reading them. There are just a few. Because I can still write, even if it's not a litany.
I didn't exactly have a word for today but I had ideas and I had 30 minutes walking on the treadmill to figure it out. Thirty minutes that turned into a countdown that turned into a word.
