It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”
Hugh Laurie

Step One

“Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.”
John Greenleaf Whittier
I’m not exactly sure at this point where this might go.  I know I want to write.  I also know that most blogs are focused on a theme of sorts.  As my mind doesn’t normally remain with the same topic for extended periods of time, this in its entirety is a dare to me.   A venture to stay away from the typical way I write and go through life.  Basically I’m trying to stay away from tangents….or at least include tangents that may tie in to a similar conclusion.
In doing so, I shall begin.  I want to be a better person.  As a person who enjoys reading blogs, I think it may be beneficial to my soul to begin my own.  The thought of entering the world of the internet is daunting for me.  I often excel at offering criticism, but have major issues in accepting the same.   
So this dare……I’ve dared myself to be a better person.  As fearful as I may be, this is a project I am willing to undertake.  A talent of art and literature may be lacking, but I think that a wasted mind and a wasted voice is just that.  Wasted.   Instead of sitting by in an covetous existence, this will be my journey in an attempt to apply myself to the world in every way.  I strive to be a contributory person to the society in which we live.  My goals are as small as offering a smile, biting back a cruel word, or possibly offering more of my time to better the world.  I would also like this to be a step (hopefully steps) in personal development.  I need to work on things in my life.  I need to work on timeliness and kindliness.  I also need to stop being a hermit.  Sometimes I really think I’m the most extroverted hermit that could ever exist in twenty seven year old form.
