Tea Leaves: November 2014

Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Black Friday—or Black Hole? When Black Friday comes,. I’m gonna dig myself a hole,. Gonna lay down in it. Till I satisfy my soul. It has not always been like this. There was a time when most people—anyone remember? On the Friday of Thanksgiving week. Even people who didn’t work in retail. And truth be told, I was an early adopter of this shopping day—way back when, before it was given a name and an almost religious status. So what’s happened? Ie, most heavily advertised).

Wednesday, July 9, 2014. Chaim Potok once wrote, “All beginnings are hard.”. I’m not so sure that’s true. I’ve rarely had trouble beginning things. The harder part, for me, is continuing. The harder part is taking that next step after the first. That’s the one that requires commitment and perseverance. I’ve come up with some things I feel I’m a “perpetual beginner” at. A beginning bike rider. A beginning digital photographer. It isn’t failure if we decide it’s not for us. It’s okay to be a beginner!
