Yesterday I decided to do (or sign up for, or join, whatever) the NaBloPoMo. That’s short for National Blog Posting Month. A couple blogs I read have done this before and continue to and only have good things to say. It’s apparently a goal you set to post everyday for a month, and if you do, you’re eligible for prizes of some sort.
Sounds like no big deal, right?
I think I mentioned before that I'm not a diligent journaler, so this could get a little rocky. What will I find to say for one whole month? Will I even remember to do it? Truth be told, I almost forgot about posting today – one day in. But, it was a big day for me (prayer meeting at church at 7 am, work until 5, errands, and then one of my best friends flew in from Spain to stay with me for 3 days!!). Obviously, not every day is going to be crazy, but sometimes there’s a lot going on; blogging isn’t always going to be easy to remember, especially when it’s not a part of my routine anyway. So why did I decide, on the inaugural blog post, to take the NaBloPoMo challenge? I guess I like the idea of starting out with goal. This is something I want to do, and one of the best things to keep me accountable is to have a benchmark to hit. And one month of daily writing can only be good for me. So we’ll see. Now, if only I could feel this motivated to work out.

Robin, thanks for finding me and letting me know about your blog! I'm really excited for you. I have realized, too, that blogging has been FUN for me and good for me to be writing, even if it feels somewhat self-serving. At the same time, I love reading about my friends' lives on their blogs... so maybe they don't mind reading about mine either. :) Can't wait to read more posts of yours!!
