Issue 008 of Marginal Thoughts - a weekly newsletter showcasing a thought I’ve been meditating on, posts from my blog, and noteworthy content I’ve been consuming.
Hey friends!
Welcome to Issue 008 of Marginal Thoughts. I’ve been on vacation this week, so not as much activity. Either way, let’s dive in.
The Meditation
The yesterday is history
Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift - that’s why it’s called the present
💡 How can you embrace today and be grounded in the present moment?
The Blog
Terminal Project - About a year ago I built my first interactive website. It’s designed to look and feel like a terminal. This week I updated it to have a mobile friendly version.

The Marginalia
Salt & Optimization - This podcast gives great information on how salt (electrolytes) are vital for wellbeing and how to utilize them appropriately. Key Takeaway: If you don’t have hypertension, you’re probably able to consume more electrolytes.
Gratitude
I am thankful for vacation and the ability to unplug from normal life for a short time.
