i could read through

the posts or the list where I neatly organize them and see that I have not fulfilled most or many of my blissful endeavors. I could, but I won’t because I know it; no need to add wasting time to have not done. All endeavors and to-do items seemed so easy to accomplish, and I was so sure of them that I didn’t imagine they would fall by the wayside. But they have. And as much as I would love to go backward (I have done this before) and fill in the posts that are missing — at least two for last week, although I haven’t missed one on Saturdays, though it was not my intention to do Saturday posts — I shall not.

* Most tips and advice I have read suggest being consistent and sticking to a schedule so that readers will know exactly when to find you. But what if I don’t want to be found some days? Wouldn’t a surprise post be more exciting than an expected one? Where is the magic?

I will shoot for Tuesdays and Thursdays and leave the third post to chance.
