When Claudette told me today that she was going to miss my daily blog it made me pause for a second. I hate disappointing her.
So it is with some regret that I have decided to post weekly for the next while. For anyone who still cares to read it, you can count on it every Sunday morning.
When I started this thing it was with the intent of sharing my Ironman experience, while at the same time making a public statement as to my intentions so as to hold myself accountable. That part went as planned.
What I hadn't planned and was such a pleasant surprise was getting to know people I really had no connection with, in partiucular several of my neices and nephews. It is also one of the reasons I will continue to do this weekly. I hope not to lose those new relationships.
The other wonderful thing that happened was the crazy dialogue that transpired on every topic under the sun. I am grateful for all the things I learned from so many of you. That I also hope will continue.
I too will miss my daily blog as it has been a wonderful growing experience. I know that when I put the time and effort into it that I wrote some decent things. And while it may have seemed to border on obsessive at times, I prefer to think of it as disciplined.
And finally for this week, if doing an Ironman is a good reason to write daily you can count on as much starting in September. Who knows?...with the right encouragement I might be "writing for two".

I'm guessing the first few nights are going to feel slightly empty to you....and to me, but I think its a good choice.
Our time and experiences are precious, and sometimes I look at blogs as a sort of camera; always trying to capture a thought or moment. It's necessary to step away and experience those moments...digest them and not have to consider how to share them...Cause sometimes you deserve to be selfish, and keep them just for you.
You're free!! (at least until Saturday)
Your Miguette is a very wise woman, and very special.
I will miss this daily routine I have grown accustomed to, but perhaps it is also time for me to move on to more active endeavors. I will look forward to my weekly fix - You must know that the expectations will be very high when you are only doing weekly. I'm sure you won't dissappoint.
The last few days I have been trying to comment and couldn't get it right...so I waited. I got the family connection from seeing your roof pics. I will miss your blog and was going to say that I would no longer read if I never knew if/when you were going to post...I can't handle that much disappointment. It seems like a great compromise to do it weekly and let us know that it will be Sun!! Thanks for considering my feelings!!! ha ha
Sounds good, Dad! I now get to look forward to a post every Sunday morning!
