Another day, another blank page.
Another blinking cursor maker staring at me as if to sayâŠ
âWell??â
Iâve got eggs to the left of me, Mouser to the right, and here I am, stuck in the middle with you.
Itâs that point in the morning where if someone were to ask you how you slept, you wouldnât even know how to answer them, both for the lack of linguistic functions, and for the lack of knowing at all really- how DID I sleep last night?
I guess I could ask my fitbit, but Iâm not sure how I feel about asking a bit of tech how I feel, or SHOULD feel. Maybe the ol brain is still booting up. Yeah, weâll get there.
Egg sandwich, made curtesy of @teamhumble, who goes into this ritualistic morning breakfast and coffee sorting routine. Itâs a thing of beauty to watch, really. Iâm pretty sure he can do it before the rest of him is even fully conscious.
Iâve got to be on point today. Yesterday we had our snow day, our soup, and our lounge time, and today, right on schedule in fact, I woke up to 8 messages from a client with a bunch of âoh and also..ââs thrown in there as well.
It was tempting not to jump straight into it, body before mind, just flip open the machine and auto-pilot it until my brain kicks in, but more and more, Iâm realizing the value of starting the day here, with youâŠ
With my thoughts, however fragmented they may be, in a raw unedited format. With my blank screen, no matter how daunting it feels on a Monday morning. Daily blogging has become like a written meditation.
I admit, the words usually come easier after my moving meditation (yoga) but today I really just want to get right back into it. Fight back to weeds of âTODOâsâ in my mental garden, and then maybe take some time for yoga or a good walk later.
So whatâs on for today?
Well, a client needs some print work resizing, and theyâve also given me feedback on a design that was passed off to me by someone else done entirely in Chinese- Iâm hoping those edits shouldnât be too difficult.
Iâve got another client who needs a website (really two) worked on, and a logo for a new project with @teamhumble thatâs just been sitting there in itâs first draft, staring at me, mocking me.
Sometimes design feels like youâre handed a final product from the benevolent design Gods right off the bat, others need to be wrestled into submissionâŠ
The Final IKIGAI Post
It may happen today, if not, probably tomorrow. When I set up my little workspace and fold out desk this morning, I made sure to bring my notebook to the setup. Itâs the notebook I use to jot down my thoughts after a really good yoga or meditation session, and also where I recorded my thoughts on IKIGAI.
Specifically, for the last post, what my IKIGAI is, or what Iâm zeroing in on anyway. Iâm not sure if you get to just say, âSAILING. YEP THATâS IT!â. I feel like itâs a bit more fluid than that, but then again thatâs coming from the mystical Pisces, maybe it really is that simple for some folks.
Either way Iâm excited to share it with you, just have to get my thoughts in order ;)

Here's the series so far in case you're looking to get caught up, and/or have no idea what I'm on about!
So then, thatâs me for this Monday January 22, a part stream of consciousness, part sticky note to myself, sleepy, morning blog. I hope you donât mind. It actually really helped! Feeling ready to start the day now!
Whatâs your Monday looking like? Full on, thrusters at warp speed, or flowinâ down a lazy river?
Either way, I hope it treats you well-
<3
