Where have I been?
For the last month, I just didn’t want to blog. I thought about it a few times but it was just ‘not now’. I didn’t want to blog about anything. None of the things that interest me made me want to write.
Blogging just became something I didn’t enjoy and it seems like a chore.
I had two options
-
- Force myself to blog
- Take a break
As you can see from my blog history, I chose to take a break and just think about what I had been doing. I also had a few ideas of what I wanted to do but wasn’t sure where I was heading. I think if I had forced myself, I would have quit totally.
Now I believe that I enjoy blogging again and I’m starting up so this is my explanation of where have I been.
I’ve been doing all the things I love, I just haven’t been writing about them. Now I will be again.
For everyone who’s been keeping an eye on my blog, I thank you for checking and I’ll be blogging more.
I hope you enjoy what I write.
I’ve just had 2 weeks holidays over Christmas. It’s about the first time I’ve had a paid holiday break in about 6 years.
I enjoyed the time off but I don’t like crowds of people so I don’t think I’ll be having a big break over Christmas again soon.
My town is a a big tourist town and everything is packed. Add in the Christmas and New Year pre and post sales and everywhere was just full of people.
I spent time with my family and enjoyed Christmas and New Year with them, but as they live in the same town as me, there is no need for time off for travel and no real need to use up my holidays.
Next Christmas/New Year I’ll just work as usual and do all my shopping after hours when there are less people.
It’s the start of a new year and a new decade.
What am I going to do in 2010?
I have a goal. According to The Free Dictionary the definition of a goal is “The purpose toward which an endeavor is directed; an objective.” I have objectives that I will achieve this year. I know how to direct them, I know what my endeavours need to be and I have a plan.
My goal this year is to do More.
- More helping my family and friends.
- More blogging.
- More learning on how to make money online.
- More work on my websites.
- More travel.
- More new friends.
- More exercise.
I’m just going to do more each day to enable me to grow as a person and learn more every day.
I’m not going to make any resolutions. Lots of people do that and then many don’t keep them. The definition of resolution is “A course of action determined or decided on”. How many friends do you have who made a New Year’s Eve Resolution to quit smoking or join a gym or quit their job? However, when the next New Year’s Eve rolls around, they are still smoking, never got to the gym in the whole year and are still working at the same job.
For many people, it’s the New Year – everyone else is making resolutions so they decide to make one too. There’s no need for commitment, because everyone else is doing it and well, who keeps a New Year’s Resolution.You decided to join in, however if you don’t get it done, you haven’t lost anything because you haven’t needed to change.
Let me know your resolutions or goals are for this year.
What are YOU planning on doing this year?
