Raison d'être

Back when I was life-coaching with Bodil Henrikson, we crafted an effective meditation routine:  Each morning, right after waking up, I'd spend a few minutes recalling everything I'd done the day before.  This is a slow, thoughtful process, and it gave my days a slower, more thoughtful feel.

For no particular reason, I decided to turn this routine into a blog.  So now you, dear reader, can follow every boring minute of my life in excruciating detail — as long as you're willing to wait 24 hours to do so.

I have no doubt that this little life-reflection experiment will evolve into something more useful.  (In fact, I hope it does.)  That's another reason for beginning with such a simple structure.  Apurva has written that we should strive to be aware of the choices available to us, so we can make the best choice.  If we have no idea what the best choice is, at least we will know that we made a choice, so that we may return to the crossroads if our original choice doesn't work out.  For this reason, in such situations, it's advisable to make the simplest choice at first:  If it works out, you win!  And if it doesn't, it will be easier to backtrack and allow more complexity into the picture.

So that's what I'm doing here.

Edit:  I note with some pleasure that my background image is probably a cryptic crossword puzzle.
