I did not publish a blog yesterday. Prior to heading off to the campout, I began work on a blog entry but did not have a chance to finish it before heading out. I thought about posting about the camp in two entries (which would have been fine considering its length), but it didn't seem right when I went to put it on my website. Now, I do not have the drive to finish the post that I started yesterday, yet I still want to fill the void of the missing daily entry.
There's no reason for me to publish something for every day of the year. In fact, there have been a few days that I have skipped entirely due to traveling or illness (although not any yet this year). Also, I tend to put out other pithy comments on Facebook that I could certainly copy over to my blog (as opposed to how I copy my blog to Facebook), including a couple yesterday.
The truth is that I always liked the concept of keeping a journal, but I was terrible at it. It wasn't until I gave myself the Lenten challenge back in 2014 of writing a post every day that I actually managed to stick to the idea. Since then, I have only skipped a few days, and always with a feeling of regret. Thus, I try to come up with something every day that can "count" as an actual journal entry ... including this one that attempts to make up for my missing post.
