This is my attempt to start blogging on a regular basis. Once a week, blog posts written on Sunday's.

Why am I doing this?

Well I've decided it will help with my communication skills, my grammar, and help me think a subject out thoroughly. When I have to write something out I often realize I did not have as firm a grasp on the subject as I originally thought I did. That's ok, it helps me learn more when I take the effort to write out my complete thoughts on a matter.

As much as I want to do this, I don't have much hope. I've been planning to do it for the past month, but have spent pretty much every Sunday afternoon sleeping the entire time between lunch and evening service. I know, you'd think I was old or something! To be fair, I pretty much only take naps on Sundays, but not because I don't want to, it's the only day I can justify it to myself ;)

Today is only a half-hearted attempt, it's past 11:45 p.m. and I'm also trying to keep a decent sleep schedule. Don't ask what sort of schedule I was keeping before that makes getting in bed before midnight early to me. :P But I figured if I really wanted to start doing this, then I needed to START, and maybe writing it down will make me accountable...

Another thing I want to start doing is posting my "poetry". Let me explain the quotation marks, I realize true poetry has form, meter, and takes skill to write. My poetry is more quickly jotted down incomplete thoughts in verse form. Sad, I know. Yet one more reason for me writing this blog, hopefully looking at the "poetry" I have written will inspire me to revise it and write better "poetry" in the future.

That being said, I believe I'm going to post a separate blog post tonight of a couple of poems from when I was working at an assisted living home as a CNA.

All in all, I'd like to try again for this blog to be what it was intended to be, a conglomeration of theological thoughts, daily living, and literature attempts. Here's to setting goals you doubt yourself that you'll meet! ;)
