Lucy Miller
You’ve probably noticed I’ve written fewer blog entries over the last couple weeks. There are a number of reasons for this, including a major project I’m trying to wrap up this summer, and an onslaught of guests traveling through town. All great stuff, but all keeping me from my daily discipline of blogging.
The other day, Lucy, my dog, asked if she could cover the blog for a while. We were at the park and I was moderating comments on my phone and I think she felt sorry for me. Lucy is my best friend and roomate and she see’s how busy my schedule has gotten. Lucy isn’t a writer by trade. She’s trains daily as a swimmer at the local fly-fishing pond at a park down the street, but I am going to give her a brief window to share some of her thoughts.
I’ve not turned the blog over to another writer for any length of time. I’ve had a few guest posts, but not many. I take this blog very seriously. I do this for free, so there is something pure about it and that helps me love it for the writing and thinking without a mixed motive getting in the way. So it was a struggle to turn it over.
But in the two years I’ve had Lucy, I’ve learned an enormous amount from her. She’s taught me to calm down, to rest, she’s taught me to focus, she’s taught me how to get along with people, and she’s taught me it doesn’t take much to be in a close relationship. So I’m hoping she can share some of that with you guys.
I’ll be back in a matter of days, but as of tomorrow, I’ll be turning this blog over to my dog. This will allow me to get caught up on my other work, and will also give me a chance to collect more wisdom worth sharing with the world.
Thank you for understanding.
Best,
Donald Miller
