This day’s morning pages were filled with a sense of drawing close to the finish line. I was elated and anxious and proud and … wrong!!! What the heck? It’s true! My count is off! (Aargh!) Does that mean I’m not actually close to the finish line! No. I know I’ve never missed a day.

Somehow, in my daily numbering of morning page days (since DE 12/08) I lost / gained 3 days! DE 11 should be the last day required for me to authentically accomplish this goal. And I am determined to meet the challenge. But, (okay it’s petty) for some reason Not seeing that day #365 on DE 11/09 is a bit of a bummer. The goal of an entire year of morning pages, every day in a row, with the #365 on the top of the page has been like a little badge in my mind.

(Okay. Now, I’m a little . . . a lot ridiculous – even to me. So. I’m gonna stop here and ‘get over myself’ and go back to focusing on the actual goal – the value of Morning Pages in the life of a Creative and the discipline of keeping the habit.)

6 days to go! woo hoo
