Wow… another year over and done. And a new one about to begin. We come to Day One 2016, what will take place this year?
The quick review of my 2015 plan:
Though I had selected 365 quotes to share through the year, the actually number of posts I made was slightly less than that due to me not posting on several mornings. I had all sorts of great excuses for those days I missed: the issue of my computer dying, then I had the A/C at the house go out, and there were a few days I didn’t post when I went out of town for various reasons. Whatever the excuse, instead of meeting my goal of 365 daily posts, I ended up with about 340 daily posts, and I learned a number of lessons.
The main lesson I learned is that it takes a lot of work to post something every single morning. I remain impressed by those who do so with such consistency.
But the other key lesson I learned is that I didn’t feel I could flesh out some of the ideas as much as I would like due to me pushing myself to post something each day. Of course, the only one who put the pressure on me to post each day was myself because I set a goal and wrote about it at the beginning of last year. So for this new year of 2016, I am going to cut back and I plan to post less often than I did in 2015 but more often than in ’13 & ’14. That means that I plan to post something about three days a week. I hope that doing so will allow me to put more thought into the posts, and therefore make them more meaningful to everyone who takes the time to read them.
Thank you for reading and for encouraging me throughout the year. And I hope that this year is one where you will grow closer to God than you ever have before.
On Day One 2016, that is my New Year’s Resolution – to grow deeper in my relationship to Jesus Christ than ever before – and I hope that is also the commitment you are making to Him this year.
