I'm committing to a daily blog for the rest of April

Good morning lovely people! It is currently 5:44 AM on Monday, April 3rd, and during my meditation this morning I decided that I want to post a 100-word blog every day for the next 30 days. You might have a few questions already so allow me to address those thoughts that I am unjustly assuming you're having. (1) yes, I do get up early and meditate -- it's just what works for me and makes me feel good! Perhaps tomorrow I'll write about my morning routine. (2) yes, the general idea of meditation is to not think, but the beautiful thing about it is, it doesn't matter if you do! When thoughts come up, you just let them come up, observe them, and let them pass away. Sometimes (most times in my case) you can't really manage it, and you end up thinking of stuff like this -- which I think is great! Then, when you realize your mind has wandered, you just bring it back and carry on. If you weren't thinking about either of these things, I apologize for making an ass out of u and me!

Welp, I've already surpassed 100 words for this post... My thinking was that 100 words would be doable for me but also force me to be more concise and focused in my writing which would make for a nice easy read for anyone interested. So, I'm gonna stick with that plan for now but if it really becomes too hard to keep it under 100, I'll go to 200. Each day henceforth I'll just hop on my laptop for a few minutes and type what comes to mind. I think this will be a lot of fun and help me get back into writing more!

Hopefully y'all enjoy :)


Happily,

Hayden
