My Idea

So today I write about things that I haven't written about before, and then what tomorrow? How will I continue to come up with the ideas to sustain these blogs and what does it matter? What if anything are these meager entries doing? These are the thoughts that come to me when I am blocked. No matter what I do there will always be these thoughts - the things that hold me back. There is no way to come up with a true answer for what these words that I mix together are doing. They could be doing nothing and they could be doing everything. I guess it only depends on the day. For me this blog does a lot of things, and as my life storms further into the distance (no pun intended) I use this blog to ground me by using the good ideas that come to mind all along the way.


In regard to this blog particularly, I am toying with the idea of posting a series of stories in which each day's blog will be a portion of one story. This idea is a project that I have been wanting to tackle for quite some time. There, with this very sentence I have described part of this blog's worth. I have to keep telling myself that this is not for everyone else, this blog is for me.

When I was a child my grandmother told me to write in my journal every day, then one day I would be so happy to look back on entries that I had written in the years past. I didn't do that then, but later on in life I have felt compelled to pick up the habit. I feel like if I am interested in something I should try it out. If for some reason that hobby or activity doesn't fit my mold, well, at least I tried. So here goes nothing. This blog is something that I have been trying that I have really enjoyed.

Life comes and goes. The days and nights blend together so quickly that we hardly notice the transition. Most of those days and nights I try incessantly to maintain my eagerness to move forward and not to become stagnate, jaded or boring. I have known so many people that pulled this off so well and their examples gave me the confidence to strive everyday to be the right kind of person. Earlier this week I had the privilege of reading an article about a person that I have recently met. The article mentioned many obstacles that popped up in his life; family illnesses and accidents, among other things. Those things did not hinder him from becoming a very successful and good human being. As they say: "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger." I was reminded by this article that the things that I have allowed to hold me back were silly things. Perhaps this is why I enjoy reading biographies and autobiographies. I enjoy comparing life and conditions with other people, these comparisons almost always lead to new goals and renewed ambitions. So here's to that…new goals and renewed ambitions…not bad!
