I drew this napkin 18 years ago to put in my daughters’ lunches. I published it on this blog 10 years ago today.
A truth to remember for all those in the middle of the Big L, whether Good L or Bad L.
This is why holding on to transient highs and lows as if they are built to last is harmful and self-defeating. I don’t mean you can’t enjoy the Good L that comes along. But you need to live with the understanding it isn’t meant to be permanent, any more than a souffle is. Eat it up when it is ready, take full advantage of the Good L when it is before you. But don’t try to put it in the fridge and eat it tomorrow. Make a new souffle, a new Good L, tomorrow instead.

Thanks Dean, I appreciate knowing you are getting something out of it! I hope to post most every day this year.
So true!! It’s amazing how much more lucky you get when the effort level increases.
I’ve enjoyed your increased output since the 1st of the year.
Your musings, thoughts, etc. are very often relevant to something going on in my life and always thought provoking.
I hope all is well with you and your family.
Warm regards,
