Gah! Starting over already

Okay, I need to make this brief so I will be motivated to write tomorrow.

I missed two days! Well, today is Wednesday and I last wrote on Saturday so if you want to get technical, its 3 but I think I am going to leave Sundays as optional (a good practice of Sabbaths).

Well, I guess if I knew that I was going to do this perfectly then I wouldn't need a lesson in discipline would I? A few things I learned:

1. When I write long sections I feel that I (A) need to write a long post every time or (B) I have earned a few days off.
   
2. I am such a perfectionist that I feel like I need to write a long entry.
3. I procrastinate if I don't think I have enough time to write an entry that is long enough or if I don't think I have enough time to write as much as I have going on in my head.
4. I use the amount of time I have (or, really, don't have) as an excuse to not write.
   
5. My brain doesn't think "everyday", it thinks "how much did I do last time?"

So I am going to stop now and say, "I did it!" A simple little post is an accomplishment and the new beginning of doing this everyday. I just need to keep telling myself this!

P.S. I think I am going to look for a counter to keep track of the days in a row that I blog (Sundays are optional of course ;) ).
