Kicking myself in the butt to make me move forward

Its been awhile since I posted anything here. Why? I am my own worst enemy. I let life get in the way of my passion. there was always a reason to not grab my camera and head out of the door. Seems it got very true that the hardest thing to do is open the door. So with the changes of seasons coming, a change in me needs to take place. So new camera in hand, sites to photograph plotted. A week’s vacation coming. I will be trying to make up time and capture some good shots. I’m blogging this, being inspired by my wife’s resent blogging post, to get me moving again, and letting you hold me to my promise. So if you don’t see anything new from me, email me, text me, or call me. I’ll appreciate the nudge to get me moving. I know it will be bump and grind until I get moving smoothly but I so hope that it will inspire me be active once more.
thanks in advance for you help,
