Fear of Commitment

I've been told that commitment is good for the soul. In fact, someone tried to convince me once to get a tattoo because it would be good for my commitment issues. I'm not sure one can resolve what some consider to be a male gene by permanently affixing ink within ones skin, but at the time it was a compelling argument (if it wasn't I probably would have forgotten it). Some would say that 50% of the commitments in this country end in non-commitment. I'm not really sure how good that is for the soul, but I'm convinced that it is good for the heart and the pursuit of happiness.

With this in mind, I'm making a commitment. That's right, I believe that commitment could be good for my soul. I, however, need to take baby steps. Baby steps into the elevator. Baby steps around the commitment. No, I'm not getting married - yet - but I hope that isn't far behind :) Baby steps. I'm going to blog every day. That is my commitment to myself (and, of course, you my faithful readers). If I can tackle commitment on a small stage maybe I can think about handling it on the stage that matters most.

So look for my musings and wit in the days to come!

Be good, and if you can't,
At least be good at it ;)
