What If We Stopped Counting?

Have you ever noticed how many things we are counting in life? Credit scores, driving scores, academic grades, costs of things, account balances. And then there are the other areas of life–follower counts, subscribers, stickers and magnets, shot glasses and t-shirts. State and national parks, states, countries…I could go on.

All my life, I’ve aimed to be a storyteller. But somewhere along the way, I started becoming a score keeper. And the tragic side effect of that meant that I began focusing on outcomes instead of on experiences.

Now that we live the RV life, traveling much of the year, and share about it online, it becomes even more of a thing. I find myself drifting away from storytelling and leaning more into the “score keeping” side. And I feel less enjoyment in life.

And, yet, some of my favorite moments in life, I can share the joy, humor or fear of the experience down to the last detail and the people that were there, but have to really think about where and when it was.

What if we stop counting and get back to collecting experiences? I want to get back to the storytelling, whether it be online, or for someday when I am sitting around in a rocking chair. The only thing I want to worry about counting is my blessings.

That is the goal I am setting for life this year…will you join me?
