Late breakfast. I am trying hard to be more disciplined. With ADHD and OCD that can be incredibly difficult at times. Pushing through it helps in the long run as a clean house and clear mind go a long way.

I never had a direction for this blog. I thought I’d be posting more design work here and sharing more articles but that’s not the case. Part of why I wanted to start this was meditative and to have some kind of escape from traditional social media. Getting some writing in doesn’t hurt either.

My internet pal Ian has a wonderful newsletter/blog that, in his words, offers “weekly reflections on curiosity, beauty, and the examined life.” In some way I wanted to do a bit of the same. I always admired his writing and there was a sense of calm that pervaded his posts/emails. I definitely recommend giving his blog a read, especially because of his fantastic photography.

I’m not a writer, nor would I ever claim to be. I have friends who are far more talented in that arena than I could hope to be. I really want to believe that if I do this more regularly not only would it benefit my mental health but maybe it would help me improve my writing. So far the mental health part seems to be working.

If nothing else I still get some enjoyment out of this. I haven’t really made connections through it and I am not even sure that anyone out there is reading, but I’m okay with that. There’s always room for improvement.
