Batting a thousand

It wasn't difficult to come up with a title for today's posting. I have just reached a milestone of creating 1000 blog entries. Like most everything, first there was the thought or idea behind it. Then I shared my thought with others who supported me in pursuing this. Then I found the means for sharing the information online. While I thought that the most challenging piece to all of this would be generating the topics, this surprisingly became the easiest part of the task. Inspiration for the topics came from all directions. I would be walking the dog, listening to a talk, reading a book, watching a television program, or conversing with a friend and the topic would appear. Writing these blogs has required discipline on my part which I haven't always seen as a strong point for me. What I have learned over the writing of these 1000 blogs is that they set the tone for my day. No matter what is happening in my life, they cause me to focus on the positive. I know that my purpose for composing these entries is to help me be a better person. I have no idea how many others have been affected by my words. If one other reader finds that it also makes a difference in his or her life, all the better. The majority of the comments I receive are about buying discount medications or designer clothing. I have learned to see the humor in this as I begin each day removing them as a housekeeping task. My goal is to continue to write my blog entries for as long as I am able and for as long as the inspirations for the topics continue to flow. What commitment have you made that you are following through on that brings a sense of fulfillment today?
