Thirty Minutes of Sleep. One Very Creepy Shortcut.

Published 8 days ago • 1 min read

Question of the Day: Would you walk alone through a cemetery at midnight if it saved you thirty minutes getting home?

Thought of the Day: It's not about the fight, it's about the purpose of the fight.

_______________

Good Morning Reader,

Sometimes we spend so much time fighting for something that we forget why we started. What happens when the struggle becomes more important than the reason behind it?

Today’s Thought of the Day considers the difference between conviction and stubbornness, and why walking away doesn’t always mean giving up.

For something a little less serious, imagine you’re heading home at midnight. There’s a shortcut through an old cemetery that would save you thirty minutes. Would you take it?

In today’s Question of the Day, I’m weighing the possibility of a spooky encounter against something increasingly precious: an extra half hour of sleep.

I’d probably take the shortcut. But I wouldn’t be stopping to admire the tombstones.

Stay Golden,
