This is hard

I never thought maintaining a blog would be this hard. I have all new respect for those bloggers I read daily, who manage to create something worth reading every day. Wow. I must soldier on - for the people. [I believe "the people" total about 3] The people demand more from me!

The hardest thing I find is that there are many interesting things going on in my life, but I don't really want to publish these things on the internet. I mean, I could talk about my job, but that would break several rules of confidentiality. I could gossip about all of my friends, but that wouldn't be good either. I could talk about my wife, but she would murder me if I did this. On top of all that, I'm not a real 'open book' type of person. I keep a lot of things to myself. I just finished reading a book by Donald Miller, and I can't believe how vulnerable he makes himself in terms of writing things that normally people wouldn't share. Why are we so careful to filter everything we say? Does anybody really talk to anybody anymore?

I was recently introduced to the term 'analysis paralysis'. I think I have a chronic case. If I think too much about what I'll write in my blog I'll never keep this up. I just need to start typing and see what comes out of my fingers.
