One thing I have found through experience in my 38 years is that we just don't take the time to effectively communicate anymore. I'm one of the worst. Writing a letter just doesn't occur to me often enough. We, myself included, rely on emails and texts, and pass in the hallway greetings to replace what once were around the dinner table conversations.
With the loss of these moments of concentrated family time, our ability to focus on each other has diminished. It's a great loss.
I keep up with technology, but never considered a blog until today. Who would care what I have to say? Well, as I start, that doesn't matter much to me. I'm not writing for any particular person. It's just a practice in honesty and vulnerability, and let's face it, we all need the practice. For me, this will be an opportunity to see my life unfold over time. For you, maybe you will pick up a small shred of wisdom, have a laugh, keep up with a regular guy like me, or get inspired to write down what you're thinking.
Well, it's begun. I feel myself reforming already.
