What Was I Thinking!?!

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

So I wake up this morning and my first thought is not about having this day off of work.  It is not about sleeping in or maybe getting up to make the coffee (nudged the wife and talked her in to it).  It is not about getting up to go to the bathroom (though that made the top 5 thoughts for sure).  No, I was met with the haunting thought that I forgot to blog!  Oh, the horror!  I mean, I made it 50+ days in a row without missing (even when I did not have internet access at the apartment!).

Well I have had the day to think about it.  A day in which I spent time at the local mall (tons of blog-worthy material can be had at the mall).  I thought about the missed blog quite often and have come to the conclusion that I am just going to forgive myself for it and move on.  This is even a little bit liberating.  Perhaps at the end of the day if I do not have a truly blog-worthy random thought then (just perhaps) I will skip another day.  The pressure of this blog streak is over now and I have no desire to start over.

This may be a service to you as well faithful reader.  I mean which is better, logging on to this site and not finding a blog or finding one that is not entertaining?  I even thought of stopping altogether but an email I just received from a new reader made me banish that thought.  Evidently he discovered my blog during a marathon shopping trip with his wife and kids.  According to the email, my blog helped him set a personal record for time at a mall.

Maybe wherever that record is recorded, my blog will be mentioned in the fine print.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
