Re-dedication

I realised today that I have not been true to my first post back in January. I wanted to start an online journal, mostly for myself, chronicling my life and my experiences and I haven't done that. This week has been full of interesting revelations. I toyed with setting up a website instead of a blog but I am not really up for the challenge of the complexities of that with everything else I have to do so I have given my journal a new look and set myself some more realistic goals for my blog and for me which are:

• To try and make at least one entry per day to include a photograph and to make it as interesting as possible for me. This does mean making a concerted effort to find something interesting to do each day which might be difficult but I think it's worth a shot and will certainly be more rewarding in the long term.
• To not put a definite label on this blog and to not over-think everything. It's OK to leave the essence of my blog as yet unknown and always changing. There are lots of things I love in my life and maybe this blog will eventually lean more towards one thing or another but for now it is just my journal.
• To accept that my life is not going to be world-changing and extraordinary but that doesn't mean that I can't enjoy it to the full and try and do everything I set my mind to do. I may not have somebody to share my life with yet but I do have a wonderful family and friends around me. I just have to let them in. I seem to be blocking people out recently and that is not healthy at all.
• To not take things so personally. This is a big one. People come and go in your life. They also disagree occasionally. It's OK. The ones who are worth it will come back.

I am rambling a little now but essentially this is my re-dedication to my journal (I am not going to use the word 'blog' from now on!!) and myself. I will be the person I want to be and it starts now!!
