Those of you who read this blog regularly may notice that yesterday has no entry (day one-hundred-sixty-five). I have a reason for this, but it's not a very good one considering the track record I've had with the blog so far. For no reason other than simple forgetfulness, I failed to write an entry for Saturday. It's 12:47 am Sunday morning as I write this, and I do this now as I just realized my mistake a few minutes ago.
It's on my heart to address this now, so I'd like to apologize to anyone who anticipated yesterday's entry and didn't see it. I considered writing one but decided that this was the better way. It's the truth.
Of course, this is one of those times that makes me consider blogging less often. My fear, however, is that if I did it on a less frequent basis, I would eventually forget to do it at all. I blog daily because that frequency is motivation to keep going. If I did it less often, I think that I'd let it go sooner or later. In all the writing I've ever done, I've never been so prolific.
As I think about it, it amazes me that it's taken this long to break the streak. There have been more than a few occasions where I barely posted entries on time, usually due to circumstances beyond my control. Somehow, though, I think I've always sort of known that I would miss simply because I didn't bother to do it. Not that I would choose not to post, but rather it would come down to me simply not getting it done.
Maybe that's another reason why I'm writing this now- making sure that I get it done early today.
