Sometimes They Come Back

Well, although I have not come even close to accomplishing my goal this past year, I have learned something about myself. I am not motivated by long-term goals. I think it must be my fear of failure that causes me to jump ship whenever I set myself a goal. Ironically, I fail to achieve my goal because I refuse to pursue it. In order to relieve myself from the stress of a rigid schedule, I have decided that I will write here when I do and I won't when I don't. If you are here to read it, I am glad, but I have come to realize that this is something I have to do for myself, not for you. I have too many other demands on my life that are largely for the benefit of others and this blog was something that started out to be just because I enjoy writing and sometimes think I have something worth saying. Secretly, of course, I dreamed of hundreds of people following me and hanging on every word, but that wasn't the reason I began. Anyway, here we are again (if you are still there), this time with no promises and no schedule. I will write and you may read. Thank you if you choose to. Xoxo
