Trying this Again

I  have started many blogs over the years.  And I have stopped and deleted all of them.  I just would think to myself: 

"Why am I writing this?  No one other than me is going to read it, so what's the point?"

And I ask that question again.  But I think this time I will see a benefit to the time I spend here and I will stick to it.

With all that is going on in the world right now (election, pandemic, cultural tensions, etc.) I think its important that I have an outlet to express feelings about life and the world as I see it.  And that's what I am going to try to do in these postings.

I have a hard time figuring out where I fit in today.  I like to exercise but I am to overweight to do it well.  I like to eat, but need to do a better job of what I put in the old pie hole.  I would like to have more relationships but I find myself alone almost all the time.  I am uncomfortable expressing myself with today's culture being what it is.

Hopefully this will be an outlet to put those things out there.  I still know that more than likely no one will read this, and that's ok.  This blog is for me...my own sort of personal therapy.  

So what's this blog gonna be about?  I might write on something I saw or read.  I might talk about some diet and exercise struggles and (hopefully) victories.  I might need to vent about work.  I might just post a picture of something I thought was cool.  It could be anything.  No format, no limitations.

A lot of this will probably be a workout log as well...so be prepared.  But that's just what I do.

I ask myself, "Can't I just do that on Facebook?"  Maybe, but I feel like Facebook is not a safe place.  You have to think about what you post and how people will react to it.  I want this to be about me.  Now I don't plan on being controversial here either, but I don't want to have to filter what I post to satisfy someone else.

So, here it goes (again).  My blog...
