How Many Days

That's what I am wondering. How many days? Of uninterrupted blogging, that is.
Pamela Willis Watters has inspired me with her 365 day quest: each day a new painting! I wonder if I could do the same, not a painting, oh no, but a daily blog entry. It should not be that difficult, but it seems daunting to me. I first read about Pamela's undertaking in the Huntsville Times and that was also where I saw her paintings for the first time. And as we are talking firsts, it was love at first sight. Now we own one of her spectacular works and every day I look at the painting I admire the artistry, the use of color, the skill, the beauty.

I jokingly said to some friends that it would be easy for me to do a 365-day-project: I would see whether I could manage not to cook dinner for 365 days in a row. I definitely think I would be up for that!

But to blog every day, it means commitment, discipline and no excuses. At the same time, I think it would be a good thing to do.
First of all, I do enjoy writing. I sit down, gather my thoughts and see where they take me. Often I am surprised at the result. Second, we all need an outlet. Lately, life has been a bit bumpy and as a result, I started to feel a bit sorry for myself. But, as I have discovered, once I am starting to write I get lost in the process. 
Third, I will be doing this strictly for myself. While this blog is public and anyone is welcome to read it I am not expecting a big crowd. That makes it a pretty safe venture.

Now I just have to pick a date and then: ready, set, go.

Until then I will stumble along and pick up random thoughts along the way.
