a choice of habit

doing this, checking in on the web for a few minutes a few times a day, and/or typing a few words day or a few times each day, is a choice and a habit, a choice that becomes a habit... and the choice can be selfish, an egocentric hunger to share beyond the daily routine or an emotional hunger to connect and be some part of the lives of others who are far away... or the choice can be out of boredome or altruism or any number of reasons... in the end, is is a choice and if wanted enough, the choice becomes a daily habit... a few minutes upon waking or before sleeping or whenever during the day... a few minutes of typing words into a box on a computer and clicking send, upload, publish, or whatever...

i choose this habit... and there have been times in this life when i chose it before, though previous times were different than this time... previously, there was a veil of playful insecurity disguised as creativity and babble that kept some distance between thereal daily life and the words written... perhaps i told myself that it was too egocentric to record the actual daily experiences on the public web... perhaps i was afraid that nobody would pay any attention and it would look foolish to write mundane details if nobody ever commented... whatever, the reasons for the previous incarnations of a daily daily life entry appear gone and here we are...

whether you are checking in daily or occasionally or not at all... whether these words are for me alone or for posterity or for the one or for friends who might have been or who might still be, the words are here... a choice of habit to take a few moments every day or even every few hours to type a few words into this box and share the details of life as i live it...

precious woke me to let me know she was getting on the highway to start her long drive up to ohio... because this is a long drive all by herself, the first time she's driving out of state by herself, i insisted she call every few hours... the nasal drip and ensuing cough seems to be getting worse, not better... dang... so much for getting the full long deep catch up sleep, aye :}

sleep now, perhance to...
