Have you ever done something you just really didn’t want to do? If you’ve lived long enough to read this, the answer to that question is “yes”. So my next question is, have you ever done something that you just really and truly didn’t want to? Same question, just more intensity in the description.
Well, for me writing this blog is one of those tasks I never wanted to do. Let me be bluntly honest with you. I HATE WRITING!!! Did I say it strongly enough? If not, I HATE WRITING, I HATE WRITING, I HATE WRITING!!! As a matter of fact I despise writing and reading. Now, I’m very glad that I can write and read, but I have a strong passion against reading and writing. I really don’t know why but I do. Its been that way as long as I can remember.
The interesting thing is that people have told me for many years that they like reading what I write, and a number of people have told me I should consider writing and publishing. I’m like, “Are you crazy?” That’s the last thing I want to do.
Well, anyway here I am today writing this little article about how much I hate writing, and I must say that I am not a willing volunteer in this. I am doing this to a large extent due to the “encouragement” of my wonderful wife and cheerleader, and a few other people. It is good to have people in your life who will spur you on in the right direction even when you don’t want to go there. And even if I find out that this is the wrong direction, at least I will have tried.
So come back for more articles in the days ahead and we will see together where all of this goes.
I hope you enjoyed reading this, and even if you didn’t that’s okay too.
