Everything starts with a first step. So, today, I am taking that first step in starting my blogging back up.

I have the app on my phone, on my tablet, on my computer and I stare at it from time to time. Sometimes, I even “compose” my entry in my head and tell myself that I should sit down and post. Never got round to it. Another year has passed. I also realise that I haven’t been posting much as well on other platforms. I shall just give the excuse that life got in the way. However, we all know that I am just a lazy ass. No excuses. Everyone can make time when they want to and obviously this lazy ass here has not made time for it.

If you have been following me on Instagram, or Twitter, you would probably know that I am now back in University and I should be graduating by this academic year. I am a year behind as I divided my last year workload in two. I realised that I would need time for my final thesis and that I didn’t need to rush things as, unlike the other younger students who needed to graduate and move on to further their studies or get a job. I, on the other hand, am doing it for my own satisfaction. A personal goal. A personal achievement that if something came out of it in the future would be just an added on bonus.

Although I got to say that I previously had reservations on posting as my life revolved around my children so much that I practically did not have a life outside of children, home and work. Work is sometimes boring and not really something I would want to post here. Would probably be better suited to be posted on the company Instagram or LinkedIn.

My kids are a little older now, so in theory I have more time. I just need to now get a routine going to dedicate time to posting. Just recently, I had a reminder of an old post on FB and I clicked on it and went down a rabbit hole of my old posts. It reminded me that I should, one way or another start to document my life, especially my travels again. It was good to read about my travels and my thoughts and reflections on it. Places I have forgotten that I have even visited. Food that I completely erased from my memory.

Re-reading the posts, brought those memories flooding back. The emotions – the awe that I felt, the anger, the disappointment even my taste buds were tingling as I read some of my food reviews. This flood of emotions has swept me up and floated me back here.

It is now almost the end of the year. Would it be the same if I try to make a new year resolution at the end of a year? I guess, a resolution is the same whether at the beginning or at the end of a year. Starting the resolution and keeping it is the key to making resolutions.

I am such a procrastinator! Here is to keeping to the resolution and keeping it consistent.

Toodeloos!
