#Fail

Like most new bloggers, my first attempt at blogging was pretty much a total failure.  But, I will not restart anew to make myself feel better, to rid myself of the guilt I feel for my followers (oh. wait.).  Instead, I will reset expectations for me, myself and the blog.  I will not attempt to post every week.  I will not attempt to post every week with a serious issue or thoughtfully drafted article.  I am not a writer.  I am not a journalist.  Since my last blog post, I’ve learned that I can’t even make a weekly Wednesday training session with a personal trainer I pay.  Since I am not paying anyone (nor am I being paid) for this activity of blogging, I will do what I want.

The lesson learned today is, obviously, if at first you don’t succeed, change your expectations.  Seriously.  After all, if your expectations and goals aren’t set to align with reality and are not a means to an end to your own personal satisfaction, what motivation would you ever have to meet or exceed them?

Side note: I just downloaded a Tumblr app for my new Droid X.  Things can only go up from here!
