Yesterday, March 19, 2010 was failure. Was it lack of discipline or laziness? Was it due to stress at work? Whatever the reason, I failed. After 96 consecutive days of adding a new post each day I failed. I knew that I had to post something and when I woke up this morning I was still logged into my WordPress dashboard. Last evening I knew I had to make a post yet I fell asleep. This does not make me feel very good. I know that I could simply post something now and then change the date back to yesterday but that would be cheating and I cannot tolerate that kind of behavior. Instead I am accepting my failure and moving on. I will still continue to post every day going forward. I’m not going to let a single failure derail my entire project. So there it is. Today is a new day.
Day 97/98: Failure and Recovery
