They say that any blog post really needs a point to deserve existence. While conceding that there is an inordinate amount of pointless content out there, I agree. However, even if I feel that I have a point, a story, a well-
formed argument or discussion, you may feel differently. Well, OK….whatever.
It has been too long since I’ve published anything here, and I have been progressively encouraged and shamed by a couple of sources: Steven Pressfield whose books “Do The Work” and “The War of Art” continue to bug me, but in a good way, and the husband of a good friend of mine Steve Wiggins, who is a blogging machine and seems able to publish daily, regardless of ANYTHING (he can be found at http://sawiggins.wordpress.com/ and I can’t recommend his work more that this – he makes me think).
My work for the past 10 months has been all-consuming and very satisfying, including the usual road bumps along the way and the over-arching ambiguity that is part of the workplace in today’s world. I’m not fond of uncertainty, but I AM beginning to come to grips with it. There will be more about the continuing journey through ambiguity.
I guess the point of this post is I’m not dead yet and I still have a viewpoint from within that you may find of interest. There will be more.

Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely
long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I’m
thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog
blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any
tips for beginner blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
