O-Dark-Thirty

September swept in, surprising me in how quickly it displaced the months of summer. (I do miss the fall leaves the the sweet smell of the earth as it falls into winter slumber.) I retired in January. People ask me if I'm bored. No, not yet. In fact, I still have so many things on my list of to-dos and I keep adding to the list. What, for example? Story ideas, game ideas, reading books, taking classes on Udemy ... I wake up some mornings with story ideas. I write them down in my notebook. It's a standard spiral notebook with a hundred pages or so. I usually write on both sides of the page. Since January, the notebook is almost full of ideas and thoughts. I'll need a new notebook in a few weeks. That's okay. If you don't keep a personal notebook of your ideas and thoughts, you should. Jim Rohn , one of my favorite speakers, recommends it as well. He was the mentor of Tony Robbins . You can catch recordings from both of them on YouTube, and I recommend them.
