Bigger. Better. Stop!

• I've run a 5-km race, so now I'll train for a half-marathon, and then a full one. 
• I've learned to ride a bike, so now I'll take on deep-sea diving. 
• I can draw, so next I'll learn to paint. 

Sheesh! 

Always more, always better, always bigger. 

Why? 

Why not be content with what we have in hand? With what we can do with ease and joy and satisfaction. Why not simply stay the course and do more of the same. 

That's my plan, anyway. 

A month of daily posts to this blog in May was exhilarating, challenging, fun. But daily posts are not sustainable for me at the moment and publishing something bigger than a blog overwhelms me at the moment, so I'm going to return to what I've done successfully in the past: weekly posts. Because, sometimes (often?) doing more of what we have been doing, rather than forcing ourselves "to the next level", is, actually, what success looks like. 

Look for me at the finish line, because, with weekly posts, I know I'll get there, feeling both joy and satisfaction. 

Note: I have never run a 5-km race, have no interest in deep-sea diving, and cannot draw never mind paint!
