Still Failing Forward

Yet another beginning

The folks who endure my classes and sessions probably have some sort of image of my daily routines that is vastly more complimentary than I deserve. Though I’ve been in the mindfulness space as both a practitioner and facilitator for many years, there is one prize habit I’ve yet to “make stick”.

Intellectually, I have fully accepted that journaling is a good thing and that I should be doing it. At certain points in my life, I have even fancied myself a writer. But the practice remains elusive. I only quite recently (silly, since I spent my years in the tech space…) discovered Substack and after several months use have prodded myself into giving it that old college try. I had some success with an online journaling tool - enough that I thought I was ready to begin putting pen to paper again. That didn’t make it out of the second month. But something tells me I’m getting closer.

I’ll be 61 in a week. Time to try again. Failing can bear more fruit sometimes than succeeding. So .. here we go.
