30 Days in a Row. Just Do It.
Jan. 19th, 2026 08:24 pmAs of today I've blogged 30 days in a row. That small accomplishment is an accomplishment because my blogging has been spotty the past few months. Occasionally I've gone days at a time without writing.
I'm calling it a small accomplishment because I've done so much better in the past. Until a few months ago I had blogged nearly every day for years. I had a streak of over 300 days in a row from April 2024 into early 2025. Late last year I slipped from skipping one or two days a year to having several skip days a month. 30 days ago I got back up on my digital surfboard and decided I would just do this.
A small accomplishment is still an accomplishment. There have been a few days among the past 30 where I felt the I-don't-wannas. Evenings where I asked myself, "What does it matter if I post something or not tonight?" I learned from those months and years and writing virtually every day that it's a habit, a practice, that has to be developed. And for me it's an important outlet of communication. I rededicated myself to the task. Just do it.
