I'm sorry, blog, for neglecting you for almost two whole months. I'd like to say its because nothing of importance has happened, but that would be a lie. I think I just forgot you existed. Sad, right? You'll be happy to know that I've still been doing a lot of writing lately, but not the kind that can be shared with the masses. No worries though, I'm going to make an effort to at least put some things out there for the 3 readers of my blog. It's the least I can do, right? Thank you for your understanding [and i'm sorry in advance for the next time I neglect you...which I'm sure will happen again...]
Now, to address the title of this post. Of course I don't actually think I'm an idiot, but for some reason I can't seem to remember that I have an outlet for expressing myself that's a little less addictive(?) than Facebook. I mean, it's nice to get updates on a person's life, but I don't always need the fine details. Fine details should be left to outlets such as a blog [in my opinion] or at least a 'note' posted on Facebook. Facebook makes it WAY too easy to stalk someone, even when you don't intend to. It's the truth, guys.
I think, for the next month or so, I'm going to try to update a few times a week on specific topics. I've got some things happening in my life, and that will be a good way to talk about them, without actually talking about them. It seems silly, but yeah. I'm silly...
Anyway...on with "specific topic" number one!
Patience...
I could certainly use a little more of this in my life. I'm not that great and seeing the big picture sometimes. I'm sure a lot of people aren't. It's so much easier to focus on the little details and completely forget that there is something larger at work. Those little details are simply that...details. Life is comprised of individual details. Events are comprised of individual details. Even details are comprised of details. I have to frequently remind myself that the moment i'm in right now, isn't going to last forever. That applies to both good and bad moments. Eventually, I'll move on to the next moment and in doing so, I'll add another tiny detail to the big picture.
So, I encourage (and I guess, challenge) everyone to approach every little detail rationally and with a calm mind. There is a reason for it. Perhaps that specific detail is the foundation for something else. We'll never know until the big picture is finished (which I guess never really happens). I'm not usually this optimistic about things, but it's something I've been working on.
Until next time...
Peace.
