Day after

This morning as I reflected on my blogging experience yesterday I am reminded of a couple things. My children and procrastination.

I think I mentioned my children encouraging me when I started. I don't ask if they have looked as they all have busy lives of their own. The oldest is a part time politician along with raising his family. Laura, 16 (yikes I'm getting old) and Ryan, 12. My daughter is in college at 39 yrs. Doing Dad proud too. Then the twin boys at 35. One a IT analyst for a large important organization in Harrisburg, PA. Also raising Kyle, 8, and Rachel, 6. The other dispatching or going to fires w/Montrose United Fire Co.

I was so thrilled that the blog blogged rather than blammed that I called my IT son. I wanted him to show the picture to Kyle and Rachel as I thought they would enjoy it. During our conversation he drew me up short. "I've been checking Dad to see if you have any new blogs." Ooops, I'm letting him down. Not that I lead an exciting or interesting life. But if I truly thought about it I could find something to write about.

So to answer the question at the end of last weeks lesson. Yes I am getting something out of this experience. I think I can do something (again) that I couldn't do last week. This small success has spurred me on to check out the next lesson. Oh my goodness, that is today.

Happy blogging to all, Shortchange
