Why I Want To Blog


Become a Better Communicator
Blogging will provide me with the practice I need to improve my use of language in getting across ideas.
Draw-out Creative Ideas
I feel like I have no original thoughts in my head. I’m betting the reason is I do not take the time to flesh-out the small ideas that I do have. So, my blog is more therapy than writing.
Hold Me Accountable
I have read that there is power in the written word. I think that by writing about and espousing ideas that I aspire to will help me move in that direction. Whether it’s to read more books or live a healthier life-style. If I write about it, I will be more likely to do it.
Create Content
Life is naturally hard. Maybe I can collect stories, ideas and instruction that would be of interest to or help others.
Grow as a Person
To paraphrase some Pink Floyd lyrics, life is too short and living is much too important to just kick around on the same piece of ground in your hometown. My life is an adventure but, too many days feel like ground hog day. If I spend more time reflecting on life, then I’m likely to live with more zest.
