Apparently -- Not Yet!

No -- I'm not still in Alaska (although I'd like to be!)And my brother left last week ... so ... I have no excuse for not blogging!

In my last post I was starting to wonder when I'd get back on track with blogging and, well, life in general.

Apparently not yet :)

And with plans for company this weekend and a trip to Georgia the next, then a trip to New York after that, it's not likely I'm going to pull it together any time soon. It might seem as though my blog isn't important to me but that's hardly the case. In fact, maybe it's because it's very important to me that I am procrastinating.

I don't want to just post for the sake of posting. And I don't want to just slap up any old thing. I really like to think things through, mull through pictures, think about the words I want to use to get my meaning across. That's part of the problem. Blogging isn't meant to be about being perfect. And I need to get over that.

I'm thinking that blogging has to become a habit. Not an after-thought or something I do when I find the time. I need to make it a priority and schedule it into my daily activities. I guess if that means giving myself a time limit to put out a blog post, then maybe I'll learn to work faster, get my thoughts out in whatever form they come (editing as I have time) ... and gradually it will become more natural.

One of the things I have wanted to work on is creating good habits. With a long list of things I'd like to change about my life, maybe tackling a new habit each week would be a way to make it happen (there's no way I'll run out of self-improvement tweaks any time soon!)

I've decided -- this week's good habit is going to be posting on a daily basis. I think my goal will be to post about lunch time every day ...

Let's see how it goes!
