Might have already downloaded the Delta emulator for iPhone and found a Pokemon Blue rom to play…
I feel caught in a continual battle of task managers. I like the OS integration of Things and the calendar sync of Todoist.
I wish I could make my iPad Home Screen as calm as my Mac one, but still with the utility. Full colour widgets are too shouty.
Starting the day off with some beautiful coffee in my local coffee shop. They’ve got some stunners from Kawa Coffee on today and I couldn’t resist taking some photos. ☕️
Migrated my Mastodon account to Micro.blog fully. The next few days will be spent pruning my follow list.
Love receiving Travellers notebook packages in the mail.
I was so engrossed in my work that I missed the start of a meeting by ten minutes. Nothing worse than having to send a sheepish apology message when joining.
Take a moment
Life is odd. Sometimes it seems to just pass us by, each day sliding into the next, the week begins and ends before we’ve even had time to catch our breath. At other times the days are slow and packed with things, little moments that create memories or that build up to make a week to remember. Lately life seems to be passing by at a great rate of knots, it whizzes by in a string of meetings, groceries, tv shows, and sleep. There barely seems time to take a breath before the next thing starts.
Occasionally I become aware of this speed and force myself to find a slot in my calendar that allows me to sit and take a moment to be still. A moment to sit and calm myself. A moment to reach out to God and speak to him.
I’m trying to cultivate these moments. I want to have more of these pauses in my life, where I can sit and be, resting in the presence of my Lord and dwelling with Him. I’ve been listening to a series of 5 songs over the last week or so. They start with one of my favourite songs, Oceans, and then are followed in any order by 4 more. Sung by Anthem Worship the artwork that goes with them is a single flower photographed on a clean coloured background which complements the colour of the petals. Each manages to capture the feelings evoked by the music. When they play I find myself listening to the words and looking at the images, a small moment of still and quiet. Like a prayer they draw me to my God.
I have them saved as a playlist in Apple Music, it’s titled “Take a moment” and when I need too I can sit back for a moment and say to Siri. Play “Take a moment” and the songs come on, my iPhone displays the artwork as they play and I can pause and step away from the pace of life to find a moment of rest before resuming my day.
Made my first little foray into editing the template for my blog. I’m a bit rusty with CSS and HTML but it all started to come back as I adjusted link colours and made a tweak to the spacing on my new bookmarks page.
The bookmarks page is a bit of an experiment as I try out some of the features in Micro.blog premium, although I still need to dig into them a bit.
Finally found some time this morning to add some personal sites to my blog roll. I’ve been wanting to create one for a while so when Manton added it as a feature to Micro.blog it made perfect sense to do it here. The aim is for this to be the first of many small improvements I would like to make.
