Nothing Like a Triple Dare to Get Me Blogging
Posted on 24. Oct, 2007 by Karen in Misc
How many days does it take to form a habit? Well, coaching colleague Michael and I have put out a challenge to one another. We agreed this afternoon to blog every day until November 20th. By then, we hope blogging will be part of our daily routines.
Both of us agreed that our desire to have "perfect" postings that everyone is dying to read might be a tad unrealistic and just might be preventing us from blogging regularly. So, Michael, here I am showing up and blogging on day 1 of the challenge.
Of course, this exercise is really to inspire two very verbal people to communicate more frequently through writing. But what Michael doesn’t know is that, for me, the challenge is kind of like a triple dare. And I never could resist one of those.

Rog–
Clearly I lost the blog challenge but I’m back. Confess that last week got away from me with all the activity around the funeral of a dear friend, Margaret.
What I found happening is that the family hour, funeral, dinner, etc. became a gathering, a reunion of sorts. I spent far more time than I thought I would connecting with friends, meeting new ones.
All and all, I think my departed friend would have been pleased with the wonderful sense of community that arose out of her passing. So many of us there were in midlife and elderhood and just really glad to see people around that we’ve known for years.
I wish we could find a way to reunite around happy events. All too often lately, it seems that funerals are the meeting place. Thoughts for a future blog posting maybe.
Thanks for reading and being patient while I was missing in action.
