Convergence

On Wednesday of this week, this year, I was enticed with writing the date all day long. Why? Because it was seven - eight - nine, or July 8, 2009. So what?

Yet as inspiration goes it got me thinking. So stick with me. After seven - eight - nine comes 10. In the advertising world, most still images of watches (often in commercials as well) are taken at the time 10:10. This is for a number of reasons including having both hands facing upwards is optimistic, the hands swept away from noon do not clutter the brand name, the overly-civil Swiss prefer that the hands not be at 6:30-ish, thus blocking their recognition and so on.

For me, this typically marks a transitional time of the morning. Most of my getting settled's done. My coffee's gone. I am hungry, looking forward to lunch. The mid-section of the country is now accessible at work, etc.

So seven - eight - nine got me to realize that the 10 o'clock hour is a pivotal one for me. So I plan to try to post about relevant ideas and lessons that are part of what I am doing each day at 10:10, or so.

We will see.
