GET BACK ON THE HORSE... 


It's time for me to get back on the horse, so to speak... in writing my blog.   I have no real reason why I ever stopped except life.   Isn't that something?  LIFE getting in the way... of sitting in front of my computer... pounding out my heart and soul.    We all have work, family obligations, hobbies and more...we all wake up every day... and go about our life.   As I sit here writing now... I realize how much I've missed putting my thoughts down on paper and seeing them come to life.   Writing is my therapy, my happy place... my way of sharing part of myself with others.   Who cares if nobody reads it?  Who cares if things that I say are unimportant?  Who cares... if I offend somebody?  Well... actually, I do care, but then again... I can't control everything, can I?

So... what now... basically, I dust myself off... forgive my lapse... and get back on the horse and start my writing again.   As I thought about that phrase... I thought there had to be a story behind it.   I mean... truly.... how many people have actually been on a horse to get back on?   So... I looked it up.

You wouldn't believe how many items in the search came up... but after much reading... I decided that this might be the best definition.


Def. 1 (verb) To attempt the same challenging action after failure. Apparently derived from an old adage: "You have to get back on the horse that threw you."
Def. 2 (verb) To get back into a habit. Traditionally this would refer to a good habit.  




So... now that I have that all cleared up... I'll go about my business of writing my blog after my year long absence.   I don't want you to think that I've just been doing nothing, though.  I have been quite busy building my company and doing what I love to do.   

I've also been on vacation recently... Alaska.. and that warrants a blog all by itself.   Beautiful place... and so inspiring, although, I do have to wonder how you live somewhere it's daylight all the time... or its dark all the time.  I am not sure I could have enough will-power to do that.  

So... now, that I've saddled back up, got my new reins... and am ready to go... I'll end this week with a quote that I found that really relays my life on a day-to-day basis.   




Isn't that enough to just make you think?  Go enjoy your week, watch the Duke... and know that every day if  you fall back or have a lapse... you just get back up again!  









8 minutes and 46 seconds..... why it matters

8 minutes and 46 seconds.   Doesn't seem like a very long time, does it....or DOES it?   It’s already July and the last few weeks of May...
