The Good Patrons of 750 Words

This website, along with exercise and meditation, helped me out of a severe mental funk several years ago. And since then, the exercise and meditation come and go, but the words remain. My family knows I need to write my words every day. These words are the most consistent thing in my life. I do not always feel like I’m “clearing” my mind when I write my words. In fact, sometimes the entire entry will be about how annoying it is to have to write them, how I’m not in the mood. But still, I write them. I’ve missed a couple of days along the way: once when my grandfather died, once when my mother-in-law was rushed to the hospital, and once, on a random Thursday, when I just plain forgot. But it’s OK to be a turkey again for a few days. These daily words have meant more to me than I can express in a note like this. They are central to my personality and how I understand the world around me. Thank you for this service.
