It amazes me sometimes just how incapable I am at sticking to something I say I'm going to do. For example, blogging. I've always wanted to blog and find it a great way just to write thoughts that are going on in my head. They don't need to be read by others, they just need to get out of me. I decided a while ago (at the urging of my friends) to start a blog which, if you look at my previous posts, obviously was not a successful endeavor.
I'll attempt to start again but, let's face it, I can't promise or guarantee anything. After all, I'm only human. And I've found, especially recently, that humans are very good at not following through on the things they say they will do or even that they want to do. Which is fine - it's entirely understandable. We all do it. I suppose the thing to do is either 1) not hold myself so accountable for failing at things I decide to do or 2) change myself. I think my decision will be based on the situation.
Take tomorrow: I want to wake up in the morning without an alarm clock, reflect on myself and my life, and be grateful for what I have been given. Then I want to work-out for a good hour or so. After that I want to clean - from my bedroom to the kitchen. Scrubbing and vacuuming and dusting. While doing this, I hope to practice singing and learn the lyrics for an upcoming Easter cantata. Following that, I'm planning to spend a few hours reading at a local coffee shop. Finally, I'll meet up with some friends to spend good quality time together for a few hours. Oh, and I want to blog again.
... Let's see how much of this is actually accomplished. This will be my experiment. After all, this list is not too daunting and should be entirely plausible. I'm just hoping that human trait called "laziness" does not kick in and bite me in the butt!
