Another Beginning

This is my second attempt at blogging. Another beginning, in way. The first time I tried my inexperienced fingers at creating and sustaining a blog, I was at the beginning of my career. And boy, did I have a lot to say! Most of my initial blogs were like hand towels into which I whined my embarrassing insecurities and my struggles to shake off my lethargy, courtesy years of life without the need to exercise my body or mind. Behind the lines of those blogs was an understanding of how much space I was given as a growing boy. There was also regret for how much of it I had frittered away. I have changed since then. I began learning the ropes, began working for a living, working to learn. And on some thrilling occasions, worked just for the sake of it.

This is my second attempt at blogging. Since the first attempt, I've changed jobs, fallen in love where I could have risen above it, been engaged to the wrong woman and married the right one, danced to the mysterious tune of marriage. I have laughed, learned, worried, observed, prayed. I ought to have a lot more to say now. But I don't. Since the last time I tried to create and sustain a blog, I've also had to eat a lot of my words and have on many occasions watched myself discard my own counsel.

But I guess I don't always have to talk at you, or whine, or preach. Instead, I could share. Yes, I think this time around, I will share. Welcome, reader. My world is now richer, a little wiser, and a little quieter than the last time you were here.
