Achieved!!

Yesterday's blog was exactly 500 words!!!!
I'm not going to start making a habit of that - I think that's a bit too much of a challenge for me to try and stick to - but by God it gives me a weird sense of satisfaction when it happens. And weirdly, it feels better when it happens by accident, rather than when I do it deliberately! You would think I would be prouder if I aimed for a certain number of words and then achieved it, but actually I get the biggest buzz when it's stumbled upon and noticed later, because it almost feels like I have some kind of innate talent that shines out occasionally to show me that God still likes me, and that offsets the days when I think he hates me, like when he injures me on the very day that my wife - who could easily fix that injury - is away.
I hope that makes sense - I think I may have taken too many painkillers....
