Doing Your Thing

Last night my son convinced me I should start a blog here.  When I told my wife, she said, "Why?"

Being male, I responded in typical male fashion, "I'm a writer.  Writers write."

But this morning, on a walk, my response came back into my mind.  Was that the real reason? Should my answer have been a Socratic response, "Why do singers sing?"

I am blogging because I enjoy it.  It gives me satisfaction. 

It brought a larger thought to mind.  Don't we all do that?  Are we really marching to our own drummer or are we doing whatever others are telling us we should do?  How many dreams are squelched because they aren't approved of?  How many people leave jobs, follow their dreams and are rewarded with success beyond their expectations.  

The theme of these posts is Breathe Easy.  What is your special activity that makes your heart sing?  Do you take 10 or 15 minutes a day doing to feed your heart?  Try it.  You'll find you'll breathe a little easier.

  1. Yay! There it is, the first post.
    It only gets easier from here.
    I'm down with breathing more easily, so the subject is definitely of interest.
    Go git 'em!

  2. I almost gave up on writing. I stole away ten or fifteen minutes here and there and now my first book will be published...due to the lasting influence of princes who believed in me.

    Your posts are a breath of fresh air.
