I want to put another piece in my “puzzle.” The first piece I put in was “Sleep.” I felt that I was doing all in my power to get eight hours of sleep at night by being in bed at 10:00 and up at 6:00. I don’t really have power over how long it will take me to get to sleep or how early I will wake up, so I’m giving myself an “A” for effort. I suppose I could start getting in bed at 9:30 to allow some time to get to sleep, but I didn’t think of that til now, so that puzzle piece still deserves to be in place.
Okay, writing on this blog is kind of similar to the above. I am doing the work. Since November 7, I have not missed a day in posting on here. That is all I am requiring of myself. I don’t have to say anything profound or brilliant–just meet the minimum requirement. It feels really good to have kept these two new things in my life going this long. I have often found that if I decide to do something, I can undecide to do it just as easily and so I’ve had a hard time making committments to myself.
So “Blogging” gets to be the second puzzle piece to go in. I want to be able to communicate well, to have something to say, and not be afraid to say it. Doing this is a means to that end. Practice works. You do get better. I’ve experienced it with music, typing, ….there are a lot of areas where I’ve seen the results of practice, I just can’t seem to think of them right now.
Okay, that’s it for tonight!
