Musings at Altitude

Tomorrow is a big milestone for me…it’s the one year anniversary of my first blog, which was an admission that I needed to vent, and in venting I’d find therapy, and in therapy I’d find peace.  And you know what?  It worked. 

Over the last year, I posted 313 blogs (counting this one), some of which were guest written by my 14 year old daughter.  For those 313 blogs, I got 53 different comments (several of which were for the blogs that my daughter wrote).  And I also got 246 spam comments, which were obviously never posted.

I’ve written blogs from locations all over this country, to include the Deep South and even North of the Arctic Circle.  I’ve talked about my deep aversion to bureaucracy, as well as my deep awe for God’s magnificent creation.  I’ve written blogs in the middle of the night, first thing in the morning, and early in the evening.  I’ve written about business, life and faith, and sometimes all three at the same time.  I’ve talked about my shortcomings and weaknesses and shared with you my desperate desire to be a much better leader, follower, father, husband, son, brother and friend.

Over the next year, I hope to blog even more (unbelievable as it may sound), and I want to bring you into helping me become a better person overall.  It’s perfectly fine to put into print my desire to improve, but it’s a pretty meaningless gesture if I don’t establish some form of accountability. 

This next year of blogging will be a year of accountability.  That will be interesting.  That will be exciting.  That will be motivating. 

That will truly be therapy!
