I still believe that one man can make a difference

One of my favorite shows growing up was Knight Rider. I know it was corny, but I wasn't the only one that learned about suspension of thanks to a talking crime-fighting car. Why do I bring this up? Am I going to get all 80's TV nostalgic on you? No, I bring it up for the closing line of the introduction to the show. In the opening montage we learn every week about the main character Michael Knight. More importantly we learn that he is working to prove that "one man can make a difference."

Do I believe that somewhat cliched TV message? I certianly do. I think that it is individuals that cause change-much more than groups. If nothing else, any powerful, world-changing group started with one person with an idea to change the world.

This is important because that one person can make a change for good or for bad. It's all a matter of what they are trying to do. It's a hard fact, but what we do with our lives has a lasting impact on more than just us. Every action and interaction has a lasting impact. So why not do your best to make the world a better place?

I'm not crazy enough to think that a smile and a kind word will fix all of the problems in the world, but I do think that I can make a difference in someone's life and that can have a bigger impact.

It's a hard habit to unbreak

Well, it's been almost a month since I posted anything new on my blog. It's a strange thing because there was a long time after I got into the flow of writing that I was posting something every day. I was really enjoying it. Then I started working on This or That and I started to slow down a little bit. Then one thing led to another and it's been a month since my last post.

I've thought about writing for a while. I want to get back to my Top Twelve X-men, and start some other fun things. I really want to get some work done on my Single-Post project where I write about topics that I've only tagged once in my posts. I think that will really help me flex my creative muscles in my writing.

OK, this is the second day on this one post. That's how bad off I am. I guess I should be happy that I got around to working two days in a row, but a month ago, I would have gotten this done in one day. That's basically what I'm getting at I guess. We talk about breaking bad habits and how hard it is, but what about getting into a positive habit?

Well, I'm finding it to be pretty hard. Some days are better than others. (Sorry, I'm not trying to make this sound like an A.A. meeting.) My biggest goal is to try to keep writing at least some each day. I'll be doing this not just for you, but also for my own piece of mind. Writing is a process that I enjoy more than I realized, and I like to think I can at least express myself clearly. It seems like some people enjoy what I'm writing about too.

So, hopefully, I'll get back on track soon. I've actually written my #7 for the Top Twelve X-men. I just need to add in the pictures of a certain Cajun. (Yeah, that kind of gives it away.) I'll be working hard to continue with the writing process.

For anyone cares, I'd love some suggestions on another top 12 list. I've still got some ideas, but I'd love some suggestions. Also, don't forget the Single-Post project. Look at all the tags with 1 post and let me know which one you'd like me to write about. I'm going to do them all, (theoretically) but I'd love to have some suggestions on what to do first.
