I am determined to make a commitment to blogging on a regular basis. Some may think for a person who has made the declaration that she is a “writer”; having written since 7th grade some fictional story of one kind or another, that this shouldn’t be a problem but it is, fiction is easy, “making up” stuff and putting pen to paper so to speak is easy for me, but “blogging” to me is totally different, “blogging” is me! It’s me expressing my opinion; rose colored glasses and all…
I tend to ramble when I write, me being me, I have random thoughts and take off.
Commitment: to commit to something, make a plan, stick to it, don’t give up…all these things run through my mind when I hear the word “Commitment”.

In poker, it means that someone will do better by staying in a hand no matter what (even if he probably doesn't have the best hand, he would still win more money by betting all his chips), rather than folding
For example, Corey Nelson committed to Texas A&M, but then decommitted on signing day;
also see "Integrity" & "Character"
Wow, also see Integrity & Character!! Integrity is not a word you hear often, it’s a good word, I see strength and fortitude, a willingness to do the right thing no matter what is popular, standing by your beliefs; being true to yourself and all that takes character!
Ok, I digressed, back to commitment, being committed, ok that just struck me as funny, sometime I think I should be committed; sent to the funny farm. Not that I’m crazy but maybe 2 bubbles to the left of center! I’ve always felt that those People who say they are normal or sane are actually the ones who aren’t really and those of us who feel that we are a little “off” are the really sane ones! Dang, did it again…
This commitment stuff maybe harder then I thought, I suppose I will have to have the courage of my convictions as well; makes me really glad I have a great group of friends to support me.
Ok, so I have to have commitment which leads to integrity and character and now courage…
I can see courage coming into play very soon, I suppose since I am putting this “blog” out there in cyberspace and (gulp) I suppose on my Facebook profile…I will have to do it and be there for my writing…
I suppose now I will have to see if I have integrity and character and the will to keep this commitment.
I hope the rambling hasn’t caught any of you off guard, you were warned and this is me, I’m a blend of life experiences that have happened and those being brewed out there for me to experience, anything is possible, no more impossible dreams…I wonder where this journey will take me, take us, that is if you care to follow along…
