QUE SERA SERA

Friday Jan. 26, 2018

Have you examined a day – not a calendar date, not a particular day of the week, but rather just ‘today’ – compared it with a year ago?

Not date-to-date comparison, but more generally, then asked questions like this:

Am I healthier, wealthier, fitter, fatter, better, more effective, more worthwhile, more interesting, more _______ than I was a year ago?

Footprint slightly smaller (purged more than I bought, kept my old vehicle on the road), lost weight, changed how I eat (and what I eat), I’m fitter, healthier, happier. I’m smarter. I’m friendlier.

Which begs the question, whether changes I’ve made or changes you’ve made, ones we’ve failed to make or failed to follow through – are they accident(s) or choice(s)?

A year from now, what will we see in our rear-view?

Will we be happy, will be rich?

Reader feedback:

JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE, OR LESS

This Musing reminds me of the story of Desmond Doss – how “just one more” can make a big difference. An entertaining way to check  out the Desmond Doss story is by watching the movie Hacksaw Ridge – I recommend it.  There is also a documentary you can check out, DAB, Edmonton, AB
