Small Daily Habits Lead to Long-Term Growth or to a Blog Filled with Drivel
I’m currently watching a Netflix series called, Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryung, https://www.netflix.com/title/81116487 about a young Korean woman who gains a place among the first four female apprentices to record palace details for posterity in the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty. At one point, the heroine repeatedly records, “His Highness turned a page,” while she observes him reading. Not exactly riveting, but hey, we know he read something for a period of time. This was no Wiki article.
What if I disciplined myself to write a post daily? Would I end up repeatedly recording, “I woke up, had coffee, listened to my audible Bible, made the bed, did tricep dips from the seat of my chair and brushed my teeth?” Possibly.
I’ll try not to do that.
So let’s jump in.
It’s the first day of fall, an appropriately rainy, cool day. I met my friend B for lunch at Thai Smile, then I took my mom to the salon. I have Bible study at 6p. I did not teach today but will tomorrow morning (online ESL). Oh, and I did wake up, have coffee, do dips, etc., because those are my habits. And now I’m adding a new one: the daily snippet.
And because I listen to music throughout the day, I’ll add my nostalgic, heart-twisting rainy day song of the day: “Wait for Me,” by Hall and Oates. “Wait for me; wait for me … You’ve got a lot to learn if you think that I’m not waiting for you.”
