This is my first post. I think that I could stop there, but I might try a few more lines just to see what happens. In the past, I have tried to keep a journal --- to be disciplined enough to write regularly. However, I have never been disciplined enough to do it. What makes me think that this time will be different? Perhaps it is because I might have an audience. Or it could be that I have matured into a more responsible person. So I will see if this time is any different than any time in the past. Have I learned anything from my prior experiences? Knowing that I might have something to say, might make this time different. We will see.
