Consistency

I'm finding it difficult to write in this blog consistently, but that doesn't mean that I'll stop trying. I console myself with the thought that about three people read this blog and I'm writing it primarily for myself anyway. I feel like Alice, who gives herself very good advice that she doesn't follow.

The last little while, I've made a couple of decisions about the way I want to live my life. I'm making a concerted effort to stay engaged in the conversation with people I like instead of spending all my time with the totally cool electronic gadgets I have. I try to remember that the gadgets can wait and people may not. Besides, I don't want to turn into one of those people who, like many of the younger generation, don't know how to interact with people in a way that doesn't involve a cell phone or a computer. There's something to be said for that face-to-face conversation. It's so much more complete.

The other related decision I've made is that I want to regularly spend time outside so that I'm not one of these pasty white guys who spends all his time inside with his electronic toys. Besides, I want to make sure I don't forget how to do all those nifty outdoorsy things I spent
years learning and honing.

So why am I telling you all this? If you want to be different or make some changes, start now. Know that you won't be perfect at it, but keep at it because something's better than nothing.
