Lowering standards, or facing reality?

Completely by accident, I note that I have less than two minutes to maintain my practice of posting something every day when I am in town and have access to a computer. So here I am, keeping a promise to myself. I have had to loosen my requirements for posts to accomplish this, e.g., I wanted to post only creative work, and no autobiographical meanderings.

Well, dang. My computer clock said I had 30 seconds left when I hit the publish button, but blogspot recorded the post as the 26th. So here is another standard altered: a day doesn't end at midnight. It ends when I go to sleep. Which is only fair, since so many nights I work past midnight to file reports needed in the morning.

If I can put in that kind of work for others, I can put it in for myself.

This is not my picture, but it's from my local forest. Thank you, E. You know when this was.
