Time Flies...

It has been just over a year since I started a blog...and almost a year since I stopped writing posts!  Last year at about this time I decided that I was going keep a thankfulness blog for a year (starting the day after Thanksgiving)...it lasted almost three weeks.  Those posts are all those leading up to this one...almost a full year later.  I didn't stop being thankful, of course, but I became less intentional and stopped blogging about it. I lost sight of my purpose in typing out all those posts about the things for which I was thankful.  I got distracted and forgot about it for too long.  Reading through all those old posts, though, made me realize how important it is to record some of those thoughts and feelings.  It is so easy to start drowning in the waves of every day life...sometimes feeling like all I can do is break through the surface for a quick breath of fresh air...  So, even though I failed to do what I set out to do so many days ago, I begin again with renewed hope...and a different plan.  I choose to learn from my failure and strive for "good" instead of "perfect."  Right now, that means a blog that does not have to be posted to every single day, and includes thoughts on many different topics.   My goal this time is to jump in, enjoy the ride, and hopefully meet a few new friends along the way!
