I intend this to be the first of many persistent adventures for 2021 and, with any luck, for many years beyond. My aim is to, once each week — fifty and two times — write about something that has crossed my path and enlightened me in some way that I found it engaging enough to pass along, in hopes that it might prompt similar musings and emotions in whomever might stumble upon these words.
Why “Fifty and Two” things?
As alluded to above, is my objective to make myself take some creative action at a minimum, once every week. Breaking things like this down into more bite-sized pieces makes them seem more manageable and less daunting, at least to me. Most if not all of us sleep for some period each day, 365-ish times year, really without ever keeping track. If we follow the dentist’s recommendation (or is it the toothpaste manufacturer’s?) to brush twice-daily, there’s another 730 activities each year. And if we eat three meals a day, there’s 1095 more things we do with quite some regularity. That brings us to close to 2200 things we do every year without giving it much thought, save for “What’s for dinner?” And thus I am of the mind that fifty and two things should not vex me all too much. Instead, I hope that it should spur me on to endeavoring in other such projects, large and small, in a similar bite-sized manner.
All in all, it is my wish that we both are better for it in the end.
Who am “I”
The “I” referred to above is me, Adelbert William Peter Younglas, or Del for short. I do online marketing by day (and night)… websites, emails, social media and such. And when I am not doing that I am pondering which of the scores of other projects, ideas, thoughts, etc. I have schemed to date will acquire some of my focus in hopes of completion or fruition or just moving things along a tiny bit. I hope my disjointed ruminations here might entertain and enlighten you in some way and maybe even propel you on to do something new or different that might light up your own corner of the world.
