Just Doing It

You know how when you haven't spoken to a good friend in a while and you have so much to catch up on that you think you'll need a long time to talk, and since you don't have that much time at any given moment, you just don't call.

And time just continues to pass without talking to this friend, even though you think of calling them all the time. Instead of just a quick ten minute call to say hello and I am thinking of you, you don't ever call at all.

That's how I feel about this blog.

So many times in the last four plus years I have opened up this wix site to write something, but it always feels like I have to catch people up. Ha. Catch.. who... up, exactly?

I think we just gotta make the call. Even if we only have five minutes.

And we just gotta hit publish.

This reminds me of something else. Last Sunday I went out for a walk with our dog Sage. And suddenly I was running. I ran about two miles. I have been wanting to run again, talking about running again, but not running. But suddenly there I was - running. I don't know how it happened really. I suppose being in my running shoes and already on the trail walking made it feel a little easier to pull the trigger on taking the action than if I was at home in my socks trying to amp myself up to "go for a run." So the same exact thing happened this evening. And now I guess I am running again.

And hey, now I am writing here again, too.

I suppose there is something about a spontaneous, unpolished and unprepared action. A quick call. A random blog post. A surprise run.

Imperfect. Unplanned. But enough.
