I'm not very good at finishing through with goals. Of my list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, I'm finding the ones with a finish line are the hardest. Jumping out of an airplane is one thing but doing sit ups for a whole month is definately another. Which is why the last few days that you may have noticed a few more posts than normal, I didn't want to admit that I've been secretly setting my goal on NaMoPoMo.
But then tonight came and I'm tired and cranky and have an ear infection and just got off the couch after a two hour nap which trumped both laundry and tai chi to stretch and get ready for bed. And I looked at my blog page and was planning on signing out without a post. You didn't know my super secret goal, so noone would have been any the wiser. But the thing is, I don't want to sweep this one under the rug like the quit soccer classes and dusty dancing shoes. This is the one I want to stick with. To grow from, to maybe even learn from?
So it's official. I'm sticking it out there. NaMoPoMo, it's on like donkey kong. I may fail, but if so it's going to be with everyone knowing the finish line in the first place. Last week I wasn't even certain if I wanted to continue with blogging anymore, muchless whether or not I had anything to say. Well, needless to say that's about to change quick. Another stressful factor is that it's going to be an exercise in not using comments as vaidation. Often I have larger gaps between posts cause I like my comments to be higherand it makes me feel the post is popular? Respected? With each comment it is a little smile towards the post. With posting every day I'm not going to have time to see whether or not I have what I consider to be enough comments before going onto the next one.
But that's all I'm going to rattle on about tonight since I have to find something to talk about for the next month! I hope this post makes sense from my sleep addled brain, but if not that's okay too cause I'm going to bed anyways.

I look forward to seeing your name pop up in my blog reader! :) Keep posting, you are always interesting.
I'm doing it too and already finding it hard going. Good luck!
I will tell ya, that I struggle to post on the weekends...that is my time of weakness.
I do the SAME THING with comments. Haha. I love that I'm not the only one. I will sometimes post a post on Thursday that I am hoping to get a lot of comments on and then not post again until Monday.
It usually works, but when I really think about it's kind of silly because blogging is supposed to be for ME! Haha
How funny is that - I post every single day, usually, but already November has been the hardest month to do so! Ok Ok going to go post right now...
Tricia- thanks, lovely.
P- we can cheer each other on.
Joker_SATX-agreed, weekends are harder than I thought/
Amber- I think we all do a little bit.

Just so you know....this is NOT make 30 comments in 30 days month...so while I might read, don't expect a ton of comment love.
