Better Late??

I have often heard it said, "Better late than never."  Well, I imagine in most cases that is true.  A few weeks ago I made a personal commitment to myself that I would write a blog every weekday and sometimes on weekends if so moved.  I told myself it really doesn't matter if people read them (I was lying to myself to protect my fragile feelings), just that I do it.  And then it became apparent that it did matter if people read them, but that was not the main reason I was doing it.  The main reason was to cultivate a habit of writing daily.  So thus, I have remained true to this commitment for about a month now.

So, in the vein of "better late than never", I submit this for you consideration.  This particular blog is later in the day than most, but still within the parameters of the commitment.  I am sure there are those who may have noticed.  I am sure there of those who probably did not.  In any case, I knew it and it remained on my mind all day until I finally sat down and blogged.

Sometimes on Monday that is all you can do.  Of course, that expression can be interpreted in other ways: if you are late, it will be better; better to try than not to try at all; late-bloomers are still bloomers; it is an excuse for being late and hope the other person values your time and effort enough to forgive the transgression.  In any case, here you have it for today, Monday, better late....than never!
