Batting 1000

A few months ago, on a whim, I decided to start writing a blog. I had no idea about what the topic would be, so I decided to just let it write itself. Whatever thought came into my mind that day. If I saw something that was of interest or heard something on the news, that peaked my interest, I put it into this blog. I began to see that life writes itself. Instead of just gliding through my day, I would make a few stops and soak in my surroundings. Things that I thought, I said, Things that I felt, I wrote about. People, places, feelings, politics and injustices. It has become cathartic. A daily cleansing. Years ago it was called a diary or journal. Nowadays it is for public view. People can read it, follow it and even vote on whether or not they agree with it. I walk around with a pad and pencil and jot down thoughts that will be turned into future blogs. It is a test to my perseverance. Sticking with a daily task. The reason for today's blogs, is that I have hit 1000 page views. A milestone for me. A kind of validation, that good, bad or otherwise, people have taken a few moments out of their lives to read what I have to say. Thanks!
