I am a creature of habit. I don't have many regular habits, as evidenced by my current physical state. I have fairly regular hygienic habits, although there have been times that I've rebelled and gone to bed without brushing my teeth.
However, this blog is one thing that I force myself to do every day. The only times I've not blogged have been during 3-day weekends or when I was in the hospital parting ways with my gallbladder. In other words, the only reason I don't blog is because I physically cannot do it on my computer.
So, the question remains - why? Of all the habits that you need to work on, why is this one the one habit that you faithfully (and almost compulsively) keep?
I have thought about this (for at east three minutes) and have come up with the following reasons:
1. If I don't write something, I won't write anything. Possibly ever again. It's easy to stop doing something forever, if you stop it once. At least it is for me. So I post every day. It may be an amusing and/or comment-provoking blogpost, or it may be a cartoon, but there's a post.
2. If I waited for inspiration to strike, we'll all still be waiting. Sometimes inspiration doesn't strike until the fingers start striking the keys. And I won't start striking the keys unless I make myself, so I make myself start striking every night.
3. I keep hoping one good, regular habit will help me keep other good, regular habits. Still working on that one.
4. I like to keep you thinking - "Will tonight be a good one or another kitten video?"
Anyhow, that's why I keep this thing going. Because for me, it's what I need to do.
