Swing the bat

On my journey of creating new habits in my life – which includes this habit of writing a daily blog – I’m reminded to just get up to the plate and swing the bat, or as my son says, “get the reps in.”

Some days I don’t really feel like writing, but I do it anyway.

Most days I know the blogs aren’t that good, but I do it anyway.

I often don’t know what I’m going to write about, but I do it anyway.

I know that no one is reading these, but I do it anyway.

The main point is showing up.

Getting the reps in.

Maybe it’s for the “muses.”  Maybe it’s for the practice. Maybe it’s just so I can establish my voice.

All I know is that I’m enjoying the process, it’s stretching me and in time I may even connect with the ball and at least get on base.

For now, I’ll just keep picking up the bat and swinging.
