Blogging Again

2008, starting a new year, continuing a decent life.

No resolutions. Don't make 'em. Resolutions become undue pressure that have the potential to turn into lies resulting in feelings of failure. So why do it?

No promises to write here every day because it won't happen. Stuff gets in the way, a couple of days get missed, and then it's too hard to start again. The last two years have proven that. It's not fun if it's something I make myself do. And it doesn't help that I have a tendency to not do things I feel I'm being compelled to do, even if I'm the one doing the compelling.

There are; however some things I want to use this starting point to do. Like stop dreaming and start doing.

There are some things I hope to accomplish, like not only write for fun, but to finally get serious and get published.

There is one very important thing to which I need to better aspire; avoid dwelling in and with the constantly negative. That's an aspect of my life over which I have a great measure of control, and one in which my efforts may benefit someone else.

Doing it like me, but doing it better in 2008!
