I can't believe it.

I can't believe it has been almost a year since I have posted anything. I have tried to think back on the last year to find why I was so negligent. I could blame it on being to busy, but who isn't these days, and I know that is an excuse. A lot has happened but I seem to find time to play Angry Birds and fill in crosswords. So being busy doesn't work. When I get down to the basic reason it has to be that I just don't write that much. It was fun when I started this blog and I know it can be again. I just have to find the motivation. There seems to be so many things to write about that are just flying through my mind but never make it out in the form of an understandable string of thought. The process of getting it from my mind to the paper has never been easy for me. My family has decided that it is because I am "ADD" and "OCD". They are just trying to blame me for their quirks. When I was young my parents and teachers blamed it on the lack of self discipline, there was no such things as "ADD" or "OCD". I'm not sure which one I would rather blame. I do know that the only way for me to overcome any of them is to stay focused on what is important. Not being focused is like trying to fix a stalled car by washing it, taking care of everything except what needs to be taken care of. I have always tried to prioritise things on the fly. Stacy is a list maker, it drives me nuts to have to make a list and actually write it down, then follow it. I drive her nuts because I just go with out a list. I tell her it"s all in my head, and I usually forget something. Anyway, I need to learn to journal and keep better written records of what is going on in life and in our church. If anyone else reads this then please keep me in your prayers about this and I will start again.
