It must be my favorite thing to do, other than lose money speculating on assets or raging at online lobbies in first-person shooters. I like to start a journey, and make some odd progress, then drop it out of nowhere. My ability to analyze my habits comes second only to my ability to find new interests in which to invest briefly.
It is with great pleasure that I share with you - today marks the first day of the month of December. In other words, "it's the first of the month."
It's funny that I stray away from blog writing, journaling and the like. After all, some of my greatest moments of clarity stem from the words I was able to put down with a pen. I may make blogging more difficult by insisting I write on paper first, but some processes return better outcomes the more you involve yourself. Think homecooked meals.
Conversely, some things you spend more time on lack the fulfillment others give you. I, for example, scroll Twitter on my phone much too long. At most, I've found a funny clip that I can share with my community to promote our project. At worst, I've forgotten what I was doing prior to twiddling my thumbs and in that moment, the inspiration evades me.
So, if nothing else, let today, Sunday, December 1st mark the first day back to maintaining my blog.
Trading Tokens
If there was one skill I could go back in time to polish, it would be trading. Even if you find technical analysis akin to reading tea leaves, pattern recognition lies at the basis of investigation and research. In my experience, the recognition of some patterns benefitted me greatly. I cut myself off from the unproductive lethargy of informal working groups before. I avoided emotionally unstable people, met and maintained relationships with others I appraise as successful, and I make some good trades.
The thing I want more of is experience- and while we can't turn back time, I have to make the most of the lessons I learned and do well to pick up tricks each day. In that sense, everything has gone well. After all, if I wasn't successful, I did my best to analyze to the point of rumination, and if I was, well I took something away that I wanted in addition to ruminating on how I was able to bring about the desired outcome.
I'm not here to proselytize my tokens or preach on the pragmatism of stoicism. The results I wanted laid in the work I wanted to avoid. If nothing else, I am damned consistent at being dreadfully inconsistent. I just want to say, it's okay to mess up. It's okay to fall off. I wasn't okay with quitting- or staying away forever.
I guess I'm saying I'm coming back for another spin.
Ohhh welcome back there friend.
I use to write in a book first before I publish on Hive and it was so tiring. Now I just type directly into my phone or laptop.
Happy New month.
Tammy! You know, I don’t appreciate enough how I do have friends, who care how I’m doing, who wonder when I don’t fill them in. I’m grateful you left me this message. I hope you’re well.
Hi. I fondly remember our meeting at that Challenge, so... many years ago. Lol.
You will be willing to undertake whatever you want to undertake, when you are ready for it. And you will achieve good results according to your mental preparation. I don't know if you understand me, but I really just wanted to say hello. 😁
Nani! Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate you saying so- sometimes we talk ourselves out of our capabilities, the possibilities. Here’s to avoiding that and welcoming much more.
