I have been thinking lately of a joke at myself that I made regarding my blog habits. It was that I seemed to only write here every other year. I couldn't remember when I said it and I couldn't remember if I had gotten any posts done for the last "every other year" (2013). But I had been pondering the possibility of fitting a few posts in here at the end of 2015 just to keep up the pattern.
So here I came with my ideas of what to post, and what do I see as my last post but the very thing I had been thinking of Every Other Year. It did confirm what I had hoped, that I had posted in 2013. But it also said I had a plan that I would stick to this time around. "Attempt #3 is underway..." it said.
And it was the last post of 2013. So much for that attempt. I have a couple of similar posts on here about what I planned to do. Each is a reminder of embarrassing failed attempts. I don't do failure or embarrassment well. So maybe this is a part of God's plan (as I originally said I felt He was asking me to do this: So, here goes). Maybe I need to learn to fail. Or maybe I need to learn to not rely on a plan. Or maybe both or neither. Maybe it just is what it is.
The thing is, I still feel like I should write. And there are still abundant amounts of ideas I have. Even when I am not writing here, I think about it. It's not that I forget I have a blog, it's that I have so many other things in my life too. At any rate, I will have at least one post for 2015; to keep up my pattern that gives me another year or two until I have to post again ;) After all, I wouldn't want to be Failing at Planning (still my favorite post to have written :)
