Digital Serenity

Digital Serenity is the blog of John McPherson Leask III (Jay). His mind wanders from food to travels, every-day activities and humor to sports, podcasting and technology - though mostly the focus of Digital Serenity will be his technological exploits.

Because I Can

Annie over at Jesus' Favorite started a writing assignment that inspired Devin at El Blog de Los Amigos ... which inspired me to try something a little bit different.

I'm, obviously, not a regular blogger these days, even over at the Dallas Stars Podcast blogs.  I've tried to keep myself to every 2 to 3 weeks, but what can I say, I've been too busy to notice when things are really worth blogging, and I've missed many opportunities to get myself regular (I know, Metamucil will fix that right up, thanks).

Yes, yes, what is the writing assignment, I know. 

Once a day, for 30 days, share something you are grateful for.

Simple.  Easy.  To the point.  And after this long-winded explanation, short posts ...

I like it.  It not only gets me, supposedly, writing in my blog once a day for 30 days; which gets me thinking about my blog every day, which will hopefully lead to more though provoking blog entries; but it gets me thinking about the good things in life.  Even better, these small tidbits of happiness could be great conversation starters ... right?

So, to start things off ...

Today, Day 1, April 24, I'm thankful for the opportunity to be free.
