One month has passed, and so far I’m not doing so bad. I’ve fed the lake 22 out of the first 30 days of the year (see my earlier post FEED THE LAKE for background). Most of that work has been done within this blog, but I’ve also made some progress on a few other projects as well. It feels good to be writing regularly again and to be writing with purpose. I’ve had to fight the urge to check the readership stats on the blog too often because I know how I am. I’ll get discouraged if there isn’t consistent traffic, even though I’ve shared it with less than 30 people. Even though it really should have nothing to do with whether anyone ever checks in to read it.  Old habits are hard to break.
