Red Letter Day

As I drove to work this afternoon (it's Monday, remember?) singing along to The Very Best of Sheryl Crow, I realized today is remarkable:

• Not once in the past month did I say to myself, "I don't want to go to work today."

• Today, for the first time since Sept 2005, I received a pay check, either biweekly or monthly, for more than $1,000.

Looking Back

I've been blogging for over a year. I would say that's pretty good for someone with completion issues.

True, I'm not contributing anything particularly profound to the world at small or large, and no one would ever use my blog to illustrate application of good blogging habits, but I am enjoying myself. I'm always thrilled and gratified when one of you makes a comment (or tries to make a comment--sorry!). And you, dear reader, may not recognize it, but blogging has improved my writing in small ways. For example, I do actually edit some of my posts, usually for succinctness (yes, really).

So, here's to another year ahead.
