Reflections

It's been two weeks since I started blogging regularly. However, this is only my eighth post - so I've posted a little less than half of what I had hoped to; partly because there have been evenings when I couldn't think of what to write about, so I skipped out. This tells me that I have to be more proactive about taking notes during the day. There were many times these last two weeks that I've thought of something fun to blog about, but I didn't take write them down and so I forgot. The irony is that I always have a notebook handy - but until this moment I never considered using it in conjunction with blogging.

As for my apparent lack of commitment, I'd like to point out that most of those missed days were on weekends; and in turn, I blame my weekend AWOL behaviour on the ridiculous numbers of things that I intend to do each week. It always seems to fall to the weekend to clean up those odds and ends that just never get attended to on weekdays. That, and finding some time to relax (there's nothing I love better on a sunny weekend morning than spending time hanging around a quiet cafe with my wife). In any case, certain priorities always seem to get shifted on weekends. I'll have to work on that.

In all seriousness, it's been good to blog on a [fairly] regular basis. I've never been particularly successful at keeping a journal - and I've tried many times - so this has been a bit of a revelation for me. The blog format suits me better, I believe - although it certainly took a long time for me to warm up to the idea (see my first post). And despite the fact that there is very little evidence that anyone is actually reading this... I guess I'll keep it up. ;)
