It's
like Christmas - only better. Today two very good friends of mine wrote
some great content for a couple of guest posts. As you will see tonight
their writing is great and it's a privilege to be entrusted with some
important and personal messages. I hope you enjoy reading them both as I
have. The first is by someone who even I am dwarfed by when it comes to
thinking about thinking. Enjoy.
The
notion of starting with just a title is one which has always appealed
to me. Well, I’m not sure if it’s a matter of appealing or more a matter
of the alternative being much less attractive. You could spend an
infinite amount of time planning and crafting a perfect sentence that
could sum up your life in a way which conveys whatever emotions and
experiences you’ve gained from it, but even if I managed to do just
that, I don’t think I would be satisfied.
For me it has to be about the journey.
The
process of documenting my life is one that I began the summer of 2011.
Granted, I only get the chance for reflection when my desk isn’t covered
in various papers – so not very often – but reflection still remains a
big part of my day-to-day life. How I reflect is a bigger issue. I like
to be able to discover things about myself. To sit and not know what I’m
going to think about, or write about and through this process find out
what’s important to me; to pinpoint that one thing that happened today
that made me happy.
This post is going to be a discovery for both of us.
This is getting a bit heavy already. Come, sit down by the fire, pour yourself a fruit-based drink. Let’s talk.
