It’s been so long since I have even been to the site, I am beginning to wonder if I did fall off the face of the earth. I have always been a journal type person, but I tend to lose consistancy with my journalling at times. I guess blogging really is like journalling. Oh well, if no one reads this, I am just glad I did not totally give up on it.

 And, doing this right now, reminds me of other things in my life that have been neglected of late….that I need to get back to. Well, I decided, at the beginning of the year, that I was going to give up on “New Year’s Resolutions”. I have always felt that people make those resolutions almost expecting to fail and quit and give up on them. Instead, of making resolutions at the beginning of the year each, resolutions that almost imply total failure, I decided I would make “Life Resolutions”. These resolutions can be made at any time of the year. They don’t come with the idea of turning over a new leaf at the beginning of the year……a leaf that, after a few weeks or months, I have found from personal experience, as well as just observing people, always seems to turn right back to where it originally was. Failure in a “Life Resolution” is not expected, per se, but it is not the end of everything when it happens either. Failure in a “Life Resolution” just means…..”Ok let’s reassess”. Basically, it means looking at the situation and seeing what may need to be changed or approached differently or whatever. But, failure, in a “Life Resolution” really means you are one step closer to success! You always hear stories of some amazingly wealthy and/or successful person who failed time after time after time after time. But, that one last try was just what was needed. Well, that is how I look at “Life Resolutions”.

 It’s a good thing I look at them that way…….If I did not, I would have went and hid in my closet for the rest of my life about a week or two into 2008. After all, attacking procrastination and avoidance was one of my resolutions that I made. Well, February 23, 2008 is my first day of doing that….By coming back to this blog. I pray for the focus and commitment and persistence and determination to continue.

God bless you all (anyone who reads this post and anyone who doesn’t)
