I have goals. I don't always live up to them, but I have them nonetheless. One of this year's goals was to write more. Specifically to blog more, but journaling, writing documentation at work, and writing long emails to old friends count, too. I've failed at that goal miserably this year, as those of you who still keep me in your RSS reader know (thanks, by the way).
I do still think a lot. (HA!) I had a few thoughts pertaining to Ft. Hood, Jesus, and robes last week that I'd love to share. But I keep putting it off. Not because I'm sitting on my couch every night totally absorbed in the political theater that is "news" these days (though that's part of it I'm sure) but more because I am totally overcommitted.
This year I've designed and developed two websites outside of work pro bono, and I'm currently helping a friend code another website right now. I love doing it. I love helping, using my gifts to help friends, family, my church. And I don't anticipate that going away. I may get frustrated and want to bail -- to sit in a corner and read a book (or write one) -- but I won't.
I will, however, keep my goal of writing more. Even if it doesn't bear fruit until after I've coded the beautiful blog redesign that was graciously given to me by a friend. Now, I must retreat once more to the land of HTML. Adieu.
