I should have been a Catholic

I have so much guilt I should have been a Catholic.When I started out on this blogging adventure I thought that I had so much to say that surely I'd be posting frequent updates. But today's Tuesday and I haven't had one single interesting event or thought since last Thursday. Where is my mind? Ooh I just love The Pixies...

So here I am feeling guilty about not blogging, and I'm not exactly sure why. Its one of those things like being up at 2am snacking. You feel guilty about it, but why? Is there some God out there saying "NO! Don't finish that bag of chips you worthless slob!"? Does the spouse really care? Ultimately its just you and your conscience.

So here's a thought. Let me lay some backdrop about my basic belief system: I believe that in order to justify continuing to draw breath and take up space on this planet we should all strive to improve ourselves. It can be the tiniest thing, but improve. Be better to others. Be better to yourself. Learn. Listen. Still yourself in this ADD society and become what another person needs. Just for a moment!

So, you know what? I am going to be better to myself. I am going to LET GO of this guilt. Not all my guilt, mind you, I'm a realist. Just this guilt: This is MY blog. I started it for ME. I am not going to carry a pointless hurtful guilt monkey on my back about this one thing. There.

Deep breath, in with the good, out with the bad. Bye bye guilt.

So, maybe you'll hear from me later tonight, maybe next month. Take the time in between, be better to yourself too.
