In the spirit of not making resolutions, I was going to resolve to post daily.
I think such a resolution will go the way of my resolutions in the past to write daily in a journal.
About the only things I do daily are pray, eat, sleep, work, and floss my teeth (sometimes I don't get in my scripture reading!!)
And I read the blogs - but not always daily - we go away sometimes where there are no computers.
Actually, there are a number of things I do daily - but they are not fodder for a blog - they are the mundane processes of life.
Our office manager posts a "quotable quote" every school day - and so I started printing them up and posting them for my students to see - but I looked the other day and the same one had been up for quite a few days.
I wonder why it's so hard to do things daily? Even writing in a journal weekly or monthly would be a lot more journal writing than I have collected! But I haven't even done that.
If I had written dates on the backs of photos as soon as I had picked them up - back in the day when you had to take your photos in to be developed - I would not have hundreds of photos waiting to be put in order somewhere. (Are any of you wondering when the anniversary posts will resume? I am!)
If every week I tackled one chore - think of all I would get done. I make plans like that all the time.
They are usually only plans though - not much implementation.
But I'm pretty busy - I don't fritter away much time - except when I check the blogs - that's probably frittering!!
At the end of each day, I can put together a pretty credible list of accomplishments. So why do I feel like nothing got done?
And the photo at the top of the page? My college convocation in 1968. Graduating from college was not on any list I ever wrote up.
But it got done!
