Questioning Commitment

As part of the gift of this blog to myself, I have vowed to myself to write everyday. Well, as you may have noticed (or not)...within my first week, i have played catch-up twice (i.e. posting two blogs in one day so as to average one post per day since the inception of the blog). As a working mother of two energetic children (4 yr old boy and 15mos old girl) and one cat and as a wife (as well as a sister, Aunt, friend, etc...), my spare time is just that: spare!  So I ask myself: Is the goal of writing everyday realistic?

My friend who inspired me to start my own blog has made a similar vow and although she has expressed similar doubts about her commitment, she has been true to it. So I ask myself: If she can do it, can I? 

I would like to think that the answers to these questions would undoubtedly be Yes! and Yes! but the truth is i think for now my answer to these questions is a definite maybe!

You can do it!!! (In your spare time of course) ;-)

This is a great medium for you. You are very thoughtful about the things you create and this is a great medium for you to express yourself. I look forward to checking everyday to see if you actually contribute something.

It's so true. If I can do it, you can too!

It's a real commitment but I think it's worth it. For me, once I made the promise to both myself and the web world then that was it, I stuck to it and even though there were many days that I thought I had nothing to say, just the process of writing made the outcome worth it.

I'll be reading EVERY DAY! :)
