Little Bill

It’s always late at night when I feel the most introspective. The lights are low, the world has gone quiet, and I’m left to my own thoughts. It’d be nice if this pair of Excedrin I’ve taken would kick in, though.

I used to be a big LiveJournal fiend. One feature from their site I should add to my blog is the “what I’m listening to” feature. Sometimes the music you’re listening to very much adds a level of insight to your own feelings. Tonight it’s Georgia on My Mind as performed by Ray Charles.

Almost one-half of the way through my thirtieth year finds me back where I started: reminding myself of the personal changes I’m undergoing. I keep coming back to whatever they say it is: It takes XXX amount of days to form a habit. 28 days. 30 days. Whatever.

It doesn’t matter. Instead I’m much more curious: how do you keep going? How do you make a change? How do you get out of your own way and do something new? Something better? Or stop doing something bad?

How do you grow?
