flossing

This Chris Brogan article on what flossing can teach us about success has stuck with me since reading it yesterday. In part, the simple fact that I don't floss as consistently as I should is a symbol of my general tendency not to prioritize some of the less interesting maintenance tasks. So I'm thinking making sure I floss every day, but also think in terms of building maintenance activities (filing, social media maintenance, staying more current on email, bill, etc) more consistently into daily routine would be a good idea.

Knowledge is learning something every day. Wisdom is letting go of something every day ~ Zen Proverb

Arrival

Arrival
launch into open waters
course beyond my control
jostled by choppy seas

breath of tangy air
glimpse of land not yet known
waiting for arrival
