NON-FICTION

Tuesday, March 30, 2021 - daily column #6713
 
 
Starting anything is as easy as a single thought, a single keystroke, or a spoken word …
 
Starting something good, something excellent, and valuable brings along with it, the fear that the idea won’t be good enough.
 
Everything ever started began with someone who had an idea.
 
Stopping a terrible idea appears more formidable because something with substance and momentum, and habit needs to be switched off. That can happen in a moment. It can take a long time to get to that point, or it can be a single moment of thought and action, but when that action comes, it is swift – like pulling off a band-aid.
 
Life is not a work of fiction because you can’t make this stuff up.
 
Yet somedays, fiction seems to make more sense …

Love the line about “melon-collie” Mark.  Still chuckling, BR, Calgary, AB
 
This was a plaintive Musing concluded with some classic corn. A curious combo. When’s breakfast?, RH, Calgary, AB
