A first of many

I woke up today wondering why I don't have a blog. I can write, and well (maybe the "and well" part is somewhat of an exaggeration). But how do you improve on something if you never do it? These thoughts served as enough inspiration for me to create an account. Turns out I had a similar stroke of inspiration a year back because I already have an account with Blogspot...since February 2012. That's right, 2012! Which brings me to the main topic of my first blog post. Yes, I'm a first class procrastinator but that's not it. I was thinking more along the lines of how things have a way of falling out of your radar without your even realizing it.

Last year, I had so many things going on (this is just a fancy way of saying I may not have been the most efficient in terms of managing time) that I didn't pick up a book (or my Kindle) for months. The funny thing is, I used to think of myself as an avid reader and it never occurred to me that at some point after months of not looking at a book, it could stop being true.

I'm glad I thought "Enough is enough, let me do something about it" today, but writing is just one of many things I need to get back to. I'm sure a lot of people reading my first post (notice how I casually assumed there's going to be a lot of traffic on my blog? I may not be the most organised person, but you can count on me to be unduly confident about projects that may never see the light of day!) on a blog created over a year ago are bound to smirk at my lazy, forgetful ways, but I'm hoping there are a few of you who can nod your heads in empathetic agreement.

Signing off for now, but I'll be back...this time, in less than 14 months....hopefully.
