Hello to all, Hello to myself,

I am starting a daily thought journey, today.  I don’t know where it will take me.  My intention is to write ‘something’ each and every day for one year.  Just so you know, I am not a writer and I am overwhelmed when I think of what this effort will entail, uncover and expose. I am excited for the journey.  I have no agenda, I have no strategy.  I had often thought about putting my thoughts on paper, not because I am special or my thoughts are amazing, but because I thought that they were worth sharing.  I don’t know who they are worth sharing with… maybe other thinkers, maybe my family, maybe the past versions of myself, maybe the future versions of myself… maybe you (us).

I am a simple man, 39 years old, living in the middle of the United States.  I have a family, I have a home, I have a job.

I will say this… I do have a goal for my life, not just specific to this journal.  I want to be mindful, I want to be….

Each day, I plan to write whatever I am thinking about in that moment.  I don’t want to come to my computer with a preconceived topic or subject.  The day will tell me what to say.  It might be of significance; for whatever that is.  It might be… a rambling of incoherent thoughts.  I want to be honest to the moment, to you, and to myself.

I am excited, I am scared, I am hopeful, I am open.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you for being, Michael.
