When you make a cup of coffee…

When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you’re waiting for the elevator – instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence.

It’s the first day of 2025, a day when we have a fresh start on a new year. 365 days lie ahead, unspoiled, full of potential and hope.

I’m one of those people who DOES make resolutions and here are mine.

  1. Post here more regularly. Tentative schedule
    • Wednesday — one-liner Wednesday — sponsored by Linda Hill. Today’s word is “coffee.”
    • Thursday — W3 (poem) — sponsored by The Skeptic’s Kaddish. This week’s challenge: an ode.
    • Friday — Unicorn Challenge — new photo posted each week. Write no more than 250 based on it.
    • Saturday — TToT — Ten Things of Thankful
    • Sunday — Writing Dice — luck of the roll — a gift from my daughter — I’ll post pictures when the time comes.
    • Monday — writer’s choice
    • Tuesday — writer’s choice
  2. Be present in the moment. See quote from Eckhart Tolle.
  3. Cut back on things that aren’t important.
  4. Invest in things that are important.
  5. Clean the house.
