Sooo....

I've reviewed my blog posts... and I see a whole lotta "I'm gonna do this or that" which never came to fruition.  In the interest of keeping this blog true to it's purpose, and Buddhism in general... I'm going to shift my writing (from future) to the present...  at least to the best of my ability.  I'm thinking this will mean smaller more frequent posts.  But we'll see how it goes.  What's going on in the present... like now?  Well, as of this morning I've began a concerted effort on keeping the 5th (no not amendment, but precept) which has to do with abstaining from intoxicants.  One of the reasons you haven't seen many updates is because I haven't kept this precept well (smoking and drinking), and sadly a lack of effort on upholding a precept means your practice falters (or in my case fades completely).  I'm not going to predict what tomorrow holds for this venture...  but I will say that as of right now, I'm doing well (if not exceptional) with it *grins*

Big time Metta!  UA
