Okay, we all know how easy it is to start something. Even to do it that second time--a total breeze. Triumphant. Why didn't I start this days/weeks/years ago? It's SIMPLE. But it's that third time (and sometimes fourth time)...you know what we're talking about...that's the challenge. Your new endeavor has lost that "exciting and new--I DID IT!" feeling...and it's not even close to a habit yet. It's hard. Not, "I'm out of breath from carrying that" hard, or "my brain's too tired" hard--hard in a different way..."I like it...I should do it...but I just don't want to do it/can't find the time to do it/do I have to do it?" hard. Kind of like running.
That's like this blog. It started out with excitement. Those first day jitters. Then some promises. But those promises turned empty. And they had such good intentions.
So here's to the third go-round. Perhaps we've reached that point where it'll be a habit. Where we'll be all "I've gotta put that on my blog!" excited. That's the goal. We may just throw up another post today to get over that fourth hurdle. How many times do they say you have to do something to make it a habit?

I heard somewhere that it takes 2 weeks of doing something for it to become a habit. :) I am full of knowledge.
