Ok, first, I apologize to all of my many faithful readers for not posting a new blog in over 16 months. That is Busch league. My bad. I'm actually going to try and write more, and hopefully blog once a week.
I've been thinking this summer about how my brain works. I don't understand exactly how this happens, but our brains have two sides. The left-side is used for analytical, logical, and linear thinking. The right side is used for random, instinctive, and creative thinking. I would say that I am a right-brain sort of guy, but lately, I have given in to the other side of my brain. I have focused on getting things done, accomplishing tasks, and checking off boxes on my to-do list. NO MORE!
Here and now I make a pledge to exercise the right side of my brain. Part of my plan is to write more. Believe it or not, I was a creative writing major in college. I loved writing poetry and short fiction, but I haven't written anything like that in years. I'm going to try to write some every week, including this blog. If you read, however, don't expect Shakespeare.
I'm also planning on taking a pottery class in the fall, so look out world: here comes the right side of my brain! Have you used yours lately?
