Welcome back!

It was ten years ago today that I launched this new blog. At that time I had just wrapped things up on my first blog and was ready to start a whole new chapter in my life. Then I blinked a few times and a decade just whizzed right past me.

A decade.

It… it just doesn’t make sense. How can ten years just fly by like that?

So What the Heck Happened?

I’m not going to be so delusional as to add, “…and nothing happened!” Because plenty has happened in my personal life, my professional career, and at least one or two other important areas that I can’t seem to bring to mind at the moment. So yes, something happened, that’s for sure.

Ten years ago, I planned to write about “Health, Food, Writing, Music, Art, and the ubiquitous ‘General.'”

I’m not sure I did any of that, really. In fact, I haven’t even posted here in five years. And that post was nothing more than three posts from 2019 concatenated into a single mega-post, with some additional commentary. Worse, the new posts between 2019 and 2021 were few and far between. So . . . this new blog basically lasted three or four years tops and then fizzled.

Par for the course, right?

It’s an all-too-familiar pattern in my life:

• Get all fired up about some promising new creative endeavor
• Set everything up
• Take one or two steps down that path
• Watch “life” take over and . . .
• . . . nothing comes of it.

And I’m getting pretty tired of it. Sure, I’d like to blame it on “life” per usual. But the reality is that old saying is true: no matter where you go, there you are. Because the one constant in all of this is (drum roll, please…) me!

Is There Any Good News?

Yes! Yes there is! My post here isn’t all looking back on ten years with whatever-color-is-the-opposite-of-rose colored glasses. Nope, because I have some new plans too! You’ll all be happy to know that I:

• Am fired up about a promising new creative endeavor
• I’m setting things up
• I’ve even taken my first step or two down that path…

What could go wrong?
