Howdy!  This post is one shy of 20 blog post since I started and declared that I’m going to restart my personal blog.  And so far, I have found that blogging has been a good thing.  I have gotten a lot of things off my chest and out there.  I have keep myself for the most part accountable to blogging.  For the most part I have blog more than what I initially said I was going to do but there have also been a few day stretches where I didn’t post an entry.

I’m still trying to get a hang of the this whole thing.  So far I have subscribers.  Thank you for subscribing.  I know a lot of the things that I have written have been personal stuff.  But I’m starting to think to post personal stuff but relate back to you.  I do write this stuff for reflection for myself but I hope if you are reading this that you have found it helpful or at least given you insight.  I do plan to continue to post as often as I can and share my experiences and adventures with you.  If you have any feedback or questions please let me know.  Leave a comment or you can e-mail me at olasis@gmail.com.

Here’s a few things so far that I have learned while I have blogged:

1. Blogging daily is dependent on how I’m feeling.  I have to be in the mindset to blog.  I can’t just blog and put something out there.
2. Playing ambient and or classical music helps me write.  Songs with words makes it hard for me to concentrate.
3. People do read your blog.
4. Being honest only helps you reflect and learn about yourself further.
5. Sharing yourself with others will allow you to foster better relationships and friendships.
6. Even though it is a personal experience you are writing about, it is best to bring it full circle and help others.  Leave tips and lessons.  Like this list.
7. Be honest and share.
