Weekly Reflection. Give and Take. Week #8

Where has my mind gone? I forgot my weekly reflection yesterday. Too busy going during my writings

Well, no use for excuses, but I’m making that up today. This week is real slow. I can probably guess the reason why. I simply have no time to do my usual posts at certain time and I haven’t been able to read many blog posts. In term of connections, we all have to do the give and take, so I do make sure that I drop by my regular bloggers that often visits me.

Without further ado:

·Views: 2780 (+243)

·Posts: 66 (+8)

·Comments: 512 (+40)

·Followers: 110 (+10)

Well, you guys have been very active with the commenting so far. That’s a plus. Always love a good comment. Makes this blog a bit livelier than the many stalkers and spammers that do a hit and run

Until next week with my reflection.

Confuzzle

I’m very impressed by people that have a clear direction on where they are going and stop at nothing on the way to get there. Unlike those people, I am the actual opposite. I like the journey rather than having a narrow focus on the end destination. Hence the problem I have in my life. I am still unclear as to what I am supposed to do to find some fulfillment in my life. But is it ok if I enjoy the stage where I am at for the moment?

Who really knows what they are supposed to be or do in life? Do you wish it so hard that the universe open up a path for you? Or people just stumble upon many things and decided that this is the best for them? Tough questions. If only I knew the answers, I would imagine my life to be simpler. How many of you out there are satisfied with what you do now and if you had a chance to start over, which journey would you embark on?

For myself, I am about to go to another state. Let’s call it exploration. I might have no web connectivity once again. But I think that this is necessary for me to broaden my horizon. It is just so difficult to leave the comfort zone. They say a journey of a thousand miles all started with one step. I shall believe this and have faith in where my life is going to lead me.

I will try my best to get online. And for the days that I couldn’t, I will write a blog offline to continue my post-per-day.

Thanks for reading.

Persistence

“One bulb at a time. There was no other way to do it. No shortcuts–simply loving the slow process of planting. Loving the work as it unfolded. Loving an achievement that grew slowly and bloomed for only three weeks each year.”
― Jaroldeen Asplund Edwards, The Daffodill Principle

I haven’t been able to faithfully devote my time to writing a good blog. Priority has place me in between a hard place and a rock. But like everything else, I have to do what is needed then I can save whatever time I have left to blog. I knew it was going to be THIS difficult, but I hope I have the persistence to keep writing. To all the writers out there consistently plugging your passion, I salute you!

Weekly Reflection #6

Oh man. I totally forgot my weekly reflection. I am so off on my days; don’t even know if it is a Sunday of this week or a Monday of next week. This is bad.

But good news this week. I’m just chugging along with more views but I’m afraid that my hiatus last week did not give me much time to build up followers. This is quite indeed a long journey. Ohh well, got to keep walking.

I have yet find a way to boost traffic but at least I’m getting a constant amount of readers that I have established a connection with. I’m still confused as in which direction my writing should go to focus on a more specific topic to provoke more conversation. But I guess I still have much to learn.

Without further ado, here is what I’m working with so far:

• Views: 2257 (+638)
  
• Posts: 52 (+12)
  
• Comments: 402 (+115)
  
• Followers: 98 (+2)
  

I’m quite content with my pace, but I do wish to be going a little bit faster. I suppose you can’t rush these things.

Friday the 13th

Hi, it’s Friday the 13^th. Have you hit your unlucky streak yet? What is the difference between regular bad luck and “Friday the 13^th” bad luck? Do you even believe or care about this superstition at all?

I certainly don’t, but it seems like every Friday the 13^th, someone have to mention it as if it is a special holiday or some sort. It certainly is not. Definitely can’t tell my boss that it is against my religion to go work on Friday the 13^th. It is not even a substantial day to use as an excuse to not do anything.

I wonder what happened back then when I don’t even know what Friday the 13^th is. Why does it have a significant implication now that I understand what the day stand for. Actually, I am still not clear on why is it so gloom and doom. People encounter bad luck every day, every moment. If it doesn’t happen to you, it might have happen to someone else you might not know of. So once again, no idea as to why today is important aside from the fact that we’re getting closer to the weekend! Now, that’s important!

So tell me about your gloom and doom day so we can confirm the significant of Friday the 13^th. Nothing has happen to me so far…
