Live in the "ish"

Live in the "ish". It's a new motto that some friends and I are working on.

Everyone has always been living in the now. The only problem with living in the now is that it's over before you know it.

When you live in the "ish" you can take your time and enjoy it. The other great thing about living in the "ish" is that it's not limited to time frames. It can also be a measure of description for feeling. Let's take a few minutes to explore the possibilities.

- living in the "ish" means you can be 5-10 minutes late. If you're more than 10 minutes late you're not in the "ish", you're just late. Sorry.

- living in the "ish" means you don't have to divulge your exact status with regards to health, be it physical or mental. When someone asks if you're feeling ok you can say, good-ish. When my girlfriend asks me how my knees are doing on any given day I can reply with, not bad-ish. And when somebody asks how you slept you can truthfully say, alright-ish. You're starting to get the picture so we'll leave the examples there for now.

"Ish" is a new unit of measure as well, whether it be for hot or cold, an amount of rain or snow, height, weight, distance.

I know that people have been "ish"ing for a long time, but nobody ever really counted it as serious. Let's make a push and get this thing off the ground. Think of the self-esteem boosts. You just lost five pounds by telling everyone (except your doctor) that you weigh 180ish. I sound taller when I say I'm 6 foot-ish instead of, just over 5-11.

The possibilities are practically endless. I love this.

So, it is now that I'm inviting everyone onboard the "ish" train. Grab a seat, enjoy the ride, and let the little stresses slide away.
