It was a year ago today that I initially created this blog, and published my first post. A whole lot has happened over the course of that year, and this site provides an interesting perspective on that series of events.
I aim to put something up about every other day or so, when I have the time. I haven't skipped posting for more than four days in a row, no matter how busy I am, regardless of where I am. With 130 posts, I am reasonably close to the 180 that would represent publishing every other day. I need to get better at making shorter posts, allowing me to do it on a more frequent basis, without consuming so much of my time. Hopefully this one will be a step in that direction.
I have made point not to go back to re-read my posts once they are published, so that I am not forever editing and revising them, and so that they more accurately reflect my views and their progression over time. My original intent was to wait at least a year before going back through them. I remember the first couple of posts pretty well, so I will wait a while longer before starting that process.
On two separate instances recently, I have dealt with people being opposed to some of what I am doing on here, which I found kind of surprising. They both seem to hinge on others valuing my privacy more than I actually do. It may be true that I am "over-sharing" on here, but maybe I am just trying to compensate for 20 years of under-sharing. Regardless of what some of my friends and family may think about it, I don't regret anything about this process. I believe that it has been a positive thing in my life, and a healthy undertaking to pursue. And Lord willing, I will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
