To anyone who knows me, this won't actually be a surprise, I've kind of lost count of the number of blogs I've begun and lost track of. I love to talk, I love to write, so it always seems natural to 'talk' to people via the writing - oh, and I throw in photographs along the way - but somehow my mind wanders and I end up... well, anywhere but here.
So, here I am again; another fresh start.
I've had many, many fresh starts and, goodness knows, Ive needed them because of the number of messes I've made.
Sometimes I despair of me... I'm technically old enough to know better, you'd think I'd have learned by now etc. etc. and yet, I still manage to mess up on a regular basis. Thing is, I really am sorry for the things I've done, said, thought, not done, that I know are not right... but I'm very good at kidding myself at the time or being totally oblivious. Anyone else relate to this?
This past few days, I've taken some positive action:
I finally plastered the bathroom ceiling (it's only taken two years of waiting)
I've cleared out the kitchen cupboards
I've sorted out my dining room (it was a tip!)
I've sorted all my books and CD's into categories and arranged them alphabetically
I've started praying and reading my Bible again
I've been working on the kids programme for my church, and had some AMAZINGLY EXCITING thoughts
And this, dear reader, (I hope there'll be at least one) is where you come in.
I need your help to keep me going. Will you help me?
I need your friendship and support and encouragement to actually keep right on going - I've realised that I'm rubbish at going it alone!
I know that I have someone on my side - name starts with G, ends in D, has a vowel in the middle and isn't Gad, Ged, Gid or Gud - but it would be great to have friends walking with me. Will you do it? Can we walk and talk together?
It might be a bit random, I do muse rather a lot. I hope there will be excitement and encouragement along the way. I'd prefer there not to be any bumps, but I'm realistic and I'm sure there'll be some of those too.
So, the big question... will you start again today?
Gyd... father of Jasis? Look forward to your musings. - Ben
