I have quite a few... I need a lot of work. For years I've been on an doff with a blog. I have always started one out with lofty goals of blogging once a day and really trying to communicate something related to the theme of the blog. I have always failed miserably and finally just gave up.\r\n\r\nI'm going to take a new approach, one that I've told my clients over and over; \"Just a few paragraphs a few times a week with an image is all you need to do\". I'm talking me own advice. I am going to try to post 2-3 times a week with the understanding that some weeks I might not post at all... and that's OK. There is no real \"topic\" per se but I do plan to have a few recurring concepts for the blog posts. Examples of the topics are Surfing, Art &amp; Design, Throwback, Best and Worst, Things \"I Think\" and What the Hell.\r\n\r\nSo why am I doing this? Several reasons; One: I would like to hone my writing skills, Two: I want to become more disciplined, and Most Importantly: I want to have a bit of a history for my kids to look back on and have fond memories. This is mostly for them. when my mother passed away we found the day-timers that she wrote little notes in... It was fun to read and I\u00a0felt like I got to know her better. I want my kids to have something like that... Something that they might read and gain some insight into who I am... although I'm not 100% sure of that.\r\n\r\nHappy New Year!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">As with everyone, I am out to set my New Years Resolutions.
