The Aggregate of Marginal Gains

-

Marginal gains. They seem to go nowhere fast. But didn't we learn a valuable lesson, in our very earliest years, about the tortoise and the hare?  The Tortoise always wins. Why??? Marginal gains and the aggregate or combination and build up of taking those small but consistent steps, over and over and over. I've just finished James Clear's book Atomic Habits . There is nothing earth-shattering in there, in fact, some of his strategies parallel some of my own that I've discovered over years of trying to solidify desired habits. But that is where the treasure of this book really shines through....in the simplicity of it.  There is an ease of application of the ideas and strategies and a sheer common-sense about it all...the "common" sense that often isn't so common. It is wonderful to have a 'master plan', a 'new idea' and a 'major upheaval', but where will the plan, idea and major change be in 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 y...

.....saw horses. --------------------------------- I'm at the point where in the Parelli levels where a pedestal would be handy.  I have tools.  We have scrap wood.  Hmmmm..... Let's make a pedestal. Horse pedestal, lazy-girl-style.  (Full disclaimer:  I am not known for my attention to detail and thoroughness in my home-projects.  I tend to start hammering first and ask questions later). See that square board in the photo?  That's what I've been using for a pedestal.  And actually, that has been about the right gradient for Dani's learning curve....Dani, who is terrorized by ground poles. She put her foot squarely on that board yesterday....and left it there.  Wow.  MAJOR progress. So, we are ready for a little pedestal.  I just want something that will be more sturdy and a bit more of a challenge. Being basically lazy, I mean adept at the conservation of energy, I thought I could just work with that...

Molly, This post is for you. Although sequestered in my teeny tiny little spot in the blogosphere, you will likely never see it. Still, it is for you. It is July 5th 2022.  It's been quite a long time since I've written, but because of you, I am sitting here taking a few minutes to write.   I love to write. I always wanted to be a writer. But I wanted to "be" a lot of things and wanted a life with horses, and to be the best mom I could be, and to be a gardener my grandfather would be proud of, and, and, and.  And, so I often pursue those other things and push my little writer voice over to the dusty corner, the corner with the ideas of my books, at least 5 or 6 of them, now covered with cobwebs and barely recognizable. But today, I am dusting off my little blog and looking through old ideas and finding that I have a working outline of a book that you thought I might consider writing. How did you know to ask me that question? How did you know this is an ache in my sou...
