So Much for Discipline...

I had every intention of writing at least once a week here... You know what they say about good intentions, right?

I am left with what to write about.  The last post was a listing of things to write about, but I don't know if I'm going to go back to that.  I want to wax philosophical on change.  I've spent nearly the last two years working on changing myself --- my body, my attitudes, my behavior, my habits.  Its no small coincidence that this change came after the birth of my daughter, my second child.  I had the same "gung-ho" attitude after my son was born, only to be derailed by a car accident when he was three.  But this time, there is something different.  And I realize that by saying that, I sound naive and hokey.  I'm not sure how to describe it or what has changed this time, but things are sticking better.  There are still a number of things I'm still working towards or even discovering that I'd like to work towards, but this positive trend has got me thinking all about change and how sometimes its for good, sometimes it sticks and sometimes it just goes out the window.

Which brings me back to my title for this post: if I truly care about this, shouldn't I be more disciplined in writing here at least once a week if not more?  I know I don't have an audience (yet, but hoping that may change...), but if this is just a glorified diary, why bother.  Moving forward, I need to make the time for this.  I enjoy writing, I enjoy reading and would like to think that somewhere between my two ears I have something worth sharing with the world.  For now, this blog will just have to do.

What is something that you find helps changes "stick"?
