After a discussion at church this Sunday, I am getting some clear nudges that I should be blogging more often. So far this blog has reflected a jagged approach to collecting thoughts, prayers and resources along the way towards becoming a licensed Reader. Now I am one.  So I guess I should start taking this even more seriously and trying to get my reflections (which happen all the time) online.

This is in line with the talk we gave (my fellow Reader and I) this Sunday on New Year decisions and resolutions. It was heartfelt. Here am I groggy still from the Christmas cold and trying to work up enthusiasm for planning actively in 2011. I have gone through the motions – I have my personal development plan and ideas about the house, the family, my health, my work, my research, my volunteering, my sheep. but they are not galvanising me as they normally do. Is this getting older? Or just the after-effects of the cold-possibly-flu?

Or could I interpret this as a nudge from my Lord that I need to do some more deep thinking? The talk was about not letting ourselves drift, but taking control to the small extent we can and making decisions which might be life-changing. These decisions don’t have to be BIG ones. they might just be regular ones. Such as blogging more often as Polly Pilgrim. After all she still has far to go, despite the Reader scarf.
