Routine

I just got the action on my guitar set to a much easier...place? Bottom line, after four years I can actually play bar chords more than half way decently. That and my guitar doesn't punish me anymore when I play it. We have a much better relationship; just had to take it to "counseling".

I have an extreme lack of routine. I like routine. It helps me pray, exercise, journal, and blog on a regular basis. That and in general I fall into ruts quite easily. Because I like routine. Blessing and a curse. The main reason I think that I don't have a routine is because my working schedule does not promote a very healthy routine. I don't blame work really; I blame me. Besides, a lack of routine simply exposes that which is most important in my life. Despite no routine, I still sit around and watch tv. I still find the time and energy for those things that aren't important, but the important things have low priority in my life it seems. Time for a change.

My macaroni is finished now.

I'm Back

After much waiting, procrastinating, and sleeping, I have returned to blog. It's not that I didn't enjoy it, it's more that I have a personal journal that takes up more time. And there I can be more honest with my self. I suppose. I have been neglecting that too. And reading scripture on a regular basis though. Hopefully though updating this more often will be me turning over a new leaf. Or stone.

I could write quite a bit because quite a bit has happened, but I don't want this to be just a dear diary blog. Maybe I'll do certain topics that cover the time that has past and the present as well.

To be honest, I have slacked on quite a bit. I don't exercise as much as I would like, I don't read the Bible as much, I don't play music as much as I used to, and I don't keep up with friends the way I would like to. I like to blame this on my volatile work schedule, but realistically I still have as much free time during the day as any other day. Poor excuses. These are all things that I like to do. Things that make me feel like I have at least accomplished something. Instead, I end up accomplishing little more than having fewer episodes of "House" that I haven't seen. I'm going to try to do better. So...I'm back!
