Sue's notes to self

Well, here I am again, and guess what? Anyone who really knows me will recognise that I have yet to read all the instructions and good pieces of advice on how to do this blogging thing.

You might call this laziness, and you might not be wrong. You might call it impatience, and you’d certainly be nearer the mark. You might even suggest that those other things that are part of my procrastination routine took the time away. Possibly, possibly. Truth is, that I seem to learn better by fiddling with things and even breaking them – at least when it comes to this online computery stuff. I did work with them after all, twice, and for at least some of that time I was able to discover what was new by experimentation. Hands on, you see. Even I have to admit that you aren’t likely to get the best results that way, but old habits die hard.

They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when you know some tricks and then you have to change them…well really! Maybe I need the promise of treats to make me look at ‘the manual’. Chocolate will do, but then again that’s another habit I need to break.

By the time you get to my age you are set in your ways. I am somewhat bemused that I am even trying this blogging lark! I am supposed to ‘journal’ but I frequently put that off too… there’s always something else to do. Maybe blogging is putting that off till later, or maybe it will come to replace it? In the interests of my well-being I’m trying something that might help, might become a new habit, to put into words what is in this fuzzy old head of mine.

If anyone reads any of this, let me know. As I try to share my musings on life (outside of my sermon writing) then it would be good to think that yet another habit-forming exercise is not entirely as time-wasting as some of the others!
