I do not often write about my daily activities.
Not because my days are boring [one would hope], and not because
they lack in excitement or memorable event - but rather, it is because
if I were to start recording my day in writing, I would be inclined to
feel the need to do it all again the next day, and the next, and so
on... and I know from experience that I will not live up to that
self-imposed expectation.
I don't know why I ever entertain
such expectations, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that I
am somewhat of a devotee to details, and a lapse in the story of my
life, once begun, just wouldn't do for my 3 devoted blog followers...
And I cannot bear to subject them to such inconsistency!
Of course, I am in jest.
I don't think it would bear much importance at all, really.
I have deduced something, though; I much prefer the
challenge of organizing thoughts - taking things invisible and
unobserved and building them into structures, with words - than the task
of faithfully recording daily activities, for to me, that can become a
mechanical observance.
Thoughts appear to me to hold a great deal more mystery than
actions; they are still in need of expression, or translation, while
actions are self-explanatory, and evident.
And, all things taken
into account, thoughts precede actions, so therefore one could conclude
that the quality of one's thoughts are of definite relevance to the
quality of life one lives.
I also enjoy challenging
myself to employ 19th century English grammar and vocabulary, on certain occasions...
That is all.
