<\/a>Yesterday I mentioned\u00a0that the day was “an especially significant milestone for me<\/a>“, but I postponed further explanation. Today, I’ll touch on this personal achievement by way of revisiting another previously postponed promise. Both obliquely reveal themselves in this excerpt from my\u00a0October 10, 2022 update, “Old House Journaling<\/a><\/em>“.<\/p>\n Yesterday marked ten weeks of old house journaling. Every. Single. Day. Two months and ten days back at the helm of this wayward, meandering, sometimes unruly experiment I call Rosslyn Redux. I emphasize the daily component of this benchmark because it\u2019s been an important part of the goal I committed to at the end of July. Starting on August first I would resuscitate\u00a0Rosslyn Redux. The why part of this equation is important, but I intend to tackle that separately. For now I\u2019ll touch on the how… (Source: Old House Journaling<\/a><\/em>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n At the time, I introduced how<\/em><\/em><\/strong> I was reinvigorating the Rosslyn Redux project. Today I’m ready to explain why<\/em><\/em><\/strong> rebooting and revitalizing this decade and a half old initiative has taken on new significance for me. But first, that momentous milestone!<\/p>\n Yesterday marked a new benchmark on my quest to post… every… single… day for one year. One hundred days, so far. No skips. At least one Rosslyn update each day. Quite a few late night, last minute posts, but so far I’ve managed to squeak it out every time. Phew!<\/p>\n This means that I’m more than a quarter of the way to my goal of 365 straight days. A year in the life of Rosslyn! And with over three months of consistent posting I’m cautiously growing more confident that I can reach my goal. There have been some unanticipated challenges (such as Susan falling gravely ill and landing in the hospital), but the truth is that bringing\u00a0fresh vision and vigor to Rosslyn Redux<\/a>\u00a0has invigorated me beyond all expectations. My mission is 100% clear. My timeline and deadlines and expectations? All clear.<\/p>\n Each new reflection, poem, photo essay, artifact, etc. is driving me deeper into a profoundly curious conversation with Rosslyn, compelling me to explore Susan and my passionate relationship with this property (and even our family’s and friends’ connections to this property), inspiring me to wonder how a brick-and-mortar home mysteriously became a member of our family, and challenging me to try and gather the dots into a constellation that makes some sort of sense…<\/p>\n100 Days of Journaling<\/h2>\n
Why Reboot Rosslyn Redux?<\/h2>\n
