So yesterday, I didn't update the blog. It's not that nothing happened; it was a pretty busy day. I went out and volunteered for Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue. It was actually a kind of interesting day; I was the hypothermia victim so I had to pretend that I had really cold feet and shiver a lot and be cranky. Those who know me well will attest that this was not a difficult task. :)
I felt kind of bad that I hadn't updated the blog. I've only missed, I think, 3 days so far this year. I set myself a New Years Resolution, while I was in San Francisco, of blogging every day. I did that for lots of reasons, but I guess the same reason people make resolutions in general; the feeling that something is going to improve who you are as a person, and even more so, that doing something repeatedly, every day, is a win. I know this from working on meditation, that meditating a little bit every day is much more valuable than trying to meditate a lot, once in a while. Having a regular schedule for things is really important. Habits are so much more valuable than just one-off things. I'm not super sure why that is, but it's clear that it's true.
Today was tough; I really didn't feel much like blogging. I thought about a number of topics, but nothing jumped out at me. I had a really mediocre Banh Mi at the airport, and it reminded me of the awesome Banh Mi I used to have in Austin, for basically zero money. But that didn't seem like a full blog post. I played Oregon Trail for the first time in a while yesterday, but again, I wasn't sure that was really a full post. And I saw Deadpool with my friend Keith, so I could have posted a review (my review: it's pretty good, nothing earth changing, but fun, although I wish they'd spent more time on the action sequences and less on his backstory). What I finally realized is that any of those could be a post, and that blogging about anything was way better than not blogging. Can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
