One foot in front of the other

 

Progress is measured in small steps - one foot in front of the other.  This blog is just one of those steps in my progress through life.  I don't have any idea what I will write about on any given day - it may be some life-altering event or something as mundane as how my day is going.  It may be out of boredom or some need of self-therapy.  I can't even guarantee I will even publish this for anyone to see.  I just know that I am committing myself to check in from time to time. 

I have always been a very private and introspective person.  Maybe it was the fact that I was an only child and never really had to share myself or my possessions with anyone else.  Putting myself ou there for all the world to see is daunting for me, but I move forward and hopefully grow as a person.  More importantly, I will learn more about myself through this external monologue (versus my natural inclination for internal dialogue).  

I also hope to improve my photography skills by trying to post an original photo with each post - this idea has come from a friend of mine, Dan Miller, who has some amazing photographs on his blog.  It may pertain to the post, or it may just be an image that struck me that day.  FYI - the posted image was taken last spring in Joshua Tree on what will hopefully be an annual trip with a great group of guys.

Well, I feel as if my thoughts are a bit scattered at the moment.  I feel that I can write about anything and everything in my life at the moment. Instead of posting a blog equivalent to the length of  War and Peace or writing about the last time I made sweet love to myself,  I will end this post here.

Moving Forward
