Confession

I didn't blog last week. There is an array of excuses one could use, such as scheduling conflicts which would have a degree of truth to it, but the bottom line is I CHOSE not to blog.

For reasons which are no one's business but my own, I was in a very bad head space last week. Obviously this week is no gem either, but we are talking about last week. Yes I am extremely busy, but I always get the blog up. Skidding in under the wire is my usual style, but the end result is the same. Commitment fulfilled.

Last week I chose not to blog. No one else made the choice for me, and no one else is responsible. Every week for over a year, I have done something I hate, and done it to the best of my ability for the moment I was in. Why chose to let the streak die? Again, something personal that effects me on a continuous basis, but something I just did not want to compound by adding my usual distaste and stress of trying to come up with something to type about. I just decided to deal with my issue, my way.

I realize that many people are passionate about blogging and as a rule I do see the value this tool presents. Which is why I try to lead by example, make sure I post something regardless of it's quality to others. For those I let down (should there be any that really care) rest assured that I do take the commitments I make very seriously, and I am still committed to this journey. However, some steps you just have to take alone.

This was one of those times.
