Trivia by definition according to Oxford Languages are: ‘details, considerations, or pieces of information of little importance or value’. Even so, I sometimes find myself hooked and submerged in them, unable to let go. What is it about them that is so intriguing? The only answer I can come up with is that there is no answer. I find that unacceptable. Having no reason/answer drives my reptilian brain crazy. You must know by now that I’ve been berserk for many years. There MUST be a reason! has been my battle cry.

I am falling behind this round of writing challenge. It is already the end of day 14 and I am tapping at a snail’s pace to finish this post. I have to admit I have been distracted by the trivia rule breaking in this challenge. It took awhile for all that to be resolved. And I wondered and wondered the whys of it all. It took away time and energy from my writing. And so here I am, late in the evening, trying to finish what I had started.

I was tempted to abandon ship but thought better of it. This is a good learning opportunity for me – to finish what I start, not to let trivia steal my time and energy. I don’t have to understand everything. I just need to understand what my goals are and the steps to reach them. I don’t have to be perfect, but to do my best.
