For years now I have closed the day by sitting down and recording some thoughts in a journal. In roughly one months I will have completed my first year of blog journaling. It is pretty hard to believe that it has been that long. Perhaps I should call it at one year and be done. Leave it as a year in the life of John Fontano and go back to the old way, the old routine. At least with the old way allowed me to sleep peacefully while writing. I didn't have to fight to stay awake to make sure my post made sense or whatever. Falling asleep was perfectly acceptable. Obviously I can fall asleep here at the keyboard as well so no big difference there... actually people may see the blog and so each post needs to be finished. That adds quite a bit of post pressure. There have been a few times when I have simply had to stop for the night and pick it up again in the morning and I am actually fine with that.
So the big question is what to do? Give up on the electronic dream and go back to a completely illegible written format? No. I think I will press forward in this endeavor. Crazy as that sounds i think it will be the much more effective approach.
Something that just doesn't seem to change much is the fact that I am fighting sleep big time at the moment. I really haven't even recorded much here. I think I will press forward with my new "old routine".
John: so glad you write your blog every night. I so enjoy hearing things about the kids and about you as well. You have written some wonderful insights and some delightful anecdotes. Thank you for sharing. It means so much to me
