Committing to myself

27 January 2010 – that was the day I published my first ever blog.  Since then I\’ve only managed 311 and I wonder why.  Writing, much like running, clears my head.  It makes sense of everything that floats around in there trying to connect with something else and spark an avalanche of new thoughts and ideas.   In itself that spark is usually a good thing, but when it goes wrong, well, it goes wrong big time.

For those of you who have been following me for a while, you\’ll know that I have on several occasions committed to write every day.  You\’ll also know that that didn\’t quite happen.  Strange fact about me: the happier I am, the less I write.  I still want to, but I don\’t.  As the lack of posts in the past 2 and a half years suggest, I\’m very happy.  Writing still, though, is my voice.  So, as we approach another new year, I\’ve been thinking: about me, where I am, where I\’m going, the people I love and everything that the new year holds for us.

{At this point I realized that I\’ve already said all of this.  Back in March.  OK, then}

I am not making another commitment that I\’m not going to stick to.  Just saying that the next year I want to focus on me; make sense of me and what goes on in my head; be a better person not only for myself but for all those who love me too; grow.

In 2019 I want to grow – spiritually, emotionally, mentally (not physically please!), and I\’ll do it by giving in to a God given talent and developing that.

Hopefully I\’ll get the blog to 681 posts by 2020 haha!  Let\’s see where this goes
