I'm going to start daily writing here again . . . Why? Well, for several reasons.
1) I do better with daily activities in my life. I saw my son working on his sit-ups the other night, and I remembered that when I was his age, I had a daily goal of 100. Every night before I went to bed, I had to complete 100 sit-ups. It could be 3 sets of 30 with a kicker of 10 at the end. It could be all in one go. It could be 200 one night, then skip the next time. But, there had to be 100 a night. I think I did that all throughout high school. When I joined the Army, I maxed out the sit-up portion of the PT test.
I'm more productive when I have a daily routine. There are other areas where I can see this being a factor in my life. . dieting . . . running . . . writing . . . etc. I was happier when I wrote here daily. So I'm going to do it again.
2) I have to have some place to air my thoughts out. I talk to my kids. I talk to my neighbors. I talk to my friends and to my wife. But, really, that only goes so far. Except for my PhD friends, who are all virtual, there are very few soul-searching discussions in my life. These posts used to act as taht for me. Let's do em again.
3) . . . and this might be the biggest factor, . . . I was peer-reviewing a paper for a class the other day. And I think this fella was insane. Like genuinely insane. I would have loved to post it somewhere and air it out. But I couldn't. I would have loved to have a place like this.
So, for all of these reasons and more, I'm going to kick my blogging into gear again. And yes, I know no one will read it. That's okay, its not for them. It's for me.
