Mientras Vacilando

Away We Go…..Again.

July 9, 2009 · 2 Comments

Why does it seem like so many of my posts are apologetic in nature? I suppose a follow up question would be who am I apologizing to? But once again I look back and see that it has been 5 months or so since my last post. I can’t really explain this break. Sure I was busy for a while with work but a big part of this exercise for me is learning to write around my work schedule so that is not really a valid excuse. But I suppose if I had to come up with a reason I would guess that it has something to do with the broader world and not feeling too much inspiration to write.

Things have been a bit melancholy lately – for everyone – so maybe I just didn’t feel like contributing to the negativity and writing about how frustrating things are. But during some recent thinking I made the decision that I need to really start approaching all aspects of my life with a better attitude and some blind optimism. I am going to just assume that things will approve and try to live “as if”. As if everything is exactly as I would like it to be. As if I am in total control of all the external factors that impact my daily life. Lumped in to that line of thinking is the removal of my self-created excuse to not try and write everyday – so whether or not I meant to, I got to get going. I may fall short and write once a week, I may write five times a week, but most importantly I am going to try and write when I feel I have something I want to share and in a manner that puts me in the custom of watching my thoughts appear in font on my computer screen. I already have a few thoughts I want to get out there so I will post those in the coming days. 

I look forward to all of your challenges to keep me up to this and I of course look forward to any responses you all may have.

    You are not alone in some of those feelings and you’ve every right to them, all things considered. I think you have a little company in that “writing drought”. Look forward to reading what you have to say, even if we don’t always agree.
