Monkeys

We're leaping! Are you?

For it is YOU who light my lamp;
the LORD my GOD lightens my darkness.
For by YOU I can run against a troop, and by my GOD I can leap over a wall.
This GOD — HIS way is perfect;
the word of the LORD proves true;
HE is a shield for all those who take refuge in HIM.

Psalm 18:28-30

I turned 37. My last three years before 40.

Eruptions of intellectual inspiration

"In order to become a creative master, you must focus your efforts on outputs by leveraging your subconscious mind. While you’re away from your work, like sleeping, spending time with friends, or other activities, your subconscious is working through and mulling over the problems you’re trying to solve.

"The first thing to do when you wake up is output. This may be in the form of writing in a journal to capture all the work your subconscious has been doing while you were sleeping. Or immediately getting to the project you’re working on. When you get out of a meeting or finish any form of activity, rather than going directly to your email or other input, maximize your subconscious by going directly to output — your work. Creative and insightful eruptions of intellectual inspiration will flow."

From Benjamin P Hardy

The extroversion lie

"We make room for a remarkably narrow range of personality styles. We're told that to be great is to be bold, to be happy is to be sociable."

Susan Cain, Quiet, p. 3

I have geek-love for VSCO

Really liking the greens in these VSCO-processed images.

Big rocks

Looking forward to starting my Bullet Journal this week and separating the big rocks from the little stones, and everything in between.

I've never, ever fully completed a journal from cover to cover. Hopefully this will end that terrible record.

I'll post my journalling system, once I've worked one out and it's been going a month or two.

Silly

Trying to start another 365 project was just a really silly idea. Photography shouldn't bring with it such pressure.

006.365 - Rhubarb

I missed a shot yesterday. That came earlier than I was expecting.

Contemplating a Bullet Journal

I am aware that I need to get more organised. I discovered the Bullet Journal (Google it) quite a long time ago now, but have just rediscovered it, and Leuchtturm make a very attractive one...

and one has a birthday coming up...

so one is tempted...

Here starteth a 365

The first three photos. I got ordained last Saturday and figured that was as good a time as any to start a 365.

Breakfast, Joash, ordination Bible.
