On 100 Consecutive Blog Posts


In mid September I set a goal to write 100 blog posts in the last 100 days of 2020.  I finished yesterday.  Here's some data:

  • I wrote 25 entries about meditation or mindfulness
  • I wrote 22 about noticing things, nature, and the middle seasons
  • I wrote 19 about poetry and  books and writing
  • I wrote 20 about living well, skillful speech, and psychology
  • I wrote 8 about art and music

There are a few things I'm proud of

  1. I've had a couple idea that I keep returning to -- the middle seasons, "your moment is shared," and "the energy of wanting"
  2. I've 'collected' and appreciated poems and writing (and art and culture).  In past years, these would have floated away.
  3. I've "studied" meditation and Buddhism.  I've taken notes on big ideas and on practices from different practitioners.
  4. I've been building a set of "right living" ideas.   (These are not "how to get things done," but how to live life well... happily.)
