Day #66

Only Once

I sit writing this in the coffee shop, my six week old daughter in my arms. There are more efficient ways to work, but no other moment that could be this one.

Work seemingly is endless, but the chance to be six weeks old comes only once.

So my trade off is efficiency for experience, or utility for love.

As the saying goes, there is more to life than work. But what else is there?

Use your sixty seconds today to make a list: what is important in your life.

Family and friends, i’m sure, but then what? Hobbies and crafts? Justice and fairness? Your garden or your activism? Education or Netflix?

How long is the list, and how much is it in balance?
