Mission Statement

This is my first official blog entry.  Pretty exciting.  I have decided (much like the John Travolta character in Phenomenon) that I might have something useful to contribute to the world and would like to have the opportunity to share it.  I hope to treat this blog as more of a bi-weekly to weekly "column."  I'm not sure what I will say or if there will ever be any rhyme or reason to the flow of my posts, but I enjoy writing and seem to have thoughts on a regular basis that I want to share.

According to my wife, it is also a good way for her to get to know me better because I share thoughts here that I don't normally share around the house.  I think it's because I have a much easier time writing my thoughts than actually speaking them out loud, especially the more personal thoughts that are related to hard-to-describe feelings.

It seems like I should have some sort of a mission statement for my blog.  My mission statement is this: to entertain readers, but mostly to provide thought-provoking posts that will inspire them to look at themselves and think about they can better themselves or the world around them.

This mission statement is geared more toward me than to anybody else.  It is one thing to have a thought, but it is quite another to act on that thought after it has occurred and after the heat of the moment has passed.

I need to sleep now--it's past 10:30 and sleep seems like a welcome friend.  I have a topic I want to discuss, but it will have to be discussed tomorrow when I'm not so tired.  Good night.
