Long Titles and the Descriptions that Ensue (The Year of the Blog)

Busy Bumble Bees such as myself love the new year. A new year for a Busy Bumble Bee means a few more months of cold winter followed by the promise of the rebirth of spring. I love the idea of rebirth, to think of new years resolutions that are occurring right now. To attempt to better yourself is a noble effort indeed. As living beings we are imperfect. We are full of beautiful imperfections and some not so beautiful imperfections. To try to fix the "ugly" imperfections is a nice idea. Now some do not make resolutions believing that they will not succeed so why try. NO! Isn't it better to try and fail than never try at all?! There is a quote I once saw that speaks true to me every new year. "Big life changes are scary. Know what's scarier? Regret." So to avoid regret I think we make new years resolutions. We attempt to be healthier, be happier, and to better our lives.

For me starting isn't the problem, it's the endurance of the year that is difficult. At first I'm excited. It's a new year and I have a new goal. But in a few months something will come up and I'll forget for a few days. Then I'm behind. And it's hard to get back onto the bandwagon once you've fallen off. I mean who knew that "The Bandwagon" traveled so fast. I always pictured a covered wagon with people playing guitars and tambourines with a cheerful little horse. Little did I know that "The Bandwagon" was really a bullet train packed full of businessmen and women on their PDAs and Apple iPhones talking to secretaries and CEOs instead of playing a guitar. But if you try really hard you can get back on and soon it will become a habit.

What is my new years resolution you're asking? Well, it took me a little bit to decide what I was going to do. I felt that I wanted to enhance my happiness for this year. So for this year I will blog once a week. It is the year of the blog (like the Chinese New Year only on the Internet). I want to try to make observations through the eyes of this Busy Bumble Bee. Who knows what I'll write about. The sky is the limit, maybe I'll write about the sky! I'd better get started. After all this Busy Bumble Bee has a long road ahead, I mean a long year ahead.
