For some reason (maybe it was the Lord’s leading!), I decided on January 6, 2019, to publish a blog every day. Today marks the end of the second year, the 731st consecutive day of blogging. I read two daily blogs: Seth Godin and Heather Holleman. I recommend them both. Seth, who has written more than 7,000 daily blogs, says that the first thousand are the hardest! So I am nearly 3/4 the way to that milestone.

I wrote on January 31, 2020, that the ideas come day to day. I don’t have a grand plan nor a file of 50 or 100 completed blogs to draw on. The miracle occurs as I just put one foot in front of the other. On January 5, 2020, and again on January 15, 2020, I wrote on the benefit of streaks. The commitment has been good for me: the daily challenge keeps me more alert for ideas from wherever they may come. For example, tomorrow, I’ll share something on race issues from the Wall Street Journal.

I really have no idea what the readership is. Some of you I know; some I don’t. Whoever and wherever you are, thanks for coming along.

And don’t let me have all the fun! Maybe some of you should write a blog or take up some other daily or weekly practice. And it’s no problem that you didn’t decide before January 1! Remember, I started on January 6, 2019.
