Is something small better than all or nothing?

Dear you wonderful people who read this (if there are any of you left)

I have multiple wet rag excuses as to why I haven't posted in so long.

I got lost in my journal writing, review writing, birthday card writing and couldn't find my way back to here.

I, like many people do in all sorts of aspects of life, was reasoning with the "it's either all or nothing" approach- if it's not going to be jaw dropping soul cleansing belly aching brilliant, there's no point in publishing it at all.

Like someone who doesn't say anything to you when you loose a loved one because they don't know anything deep and sentimental to console you, so they say nothing.

Or someone who doesn't come to your costume party because they don't like dressing up. 

Or eating all of the TimTams because you had a free sample of chocolate earlier in the day.

This is how I felt over the last couple of weeks about this blog.

Which is kind of daft, as I have learned a few great things-

The guitar
The feeling of riding your bike again after 2 months
The feeling of getting re-attached to your loved ones and holding that lump in your throat
How cool cousins are
Welsh Dancing
How to make arancini balls

I've planted a garden, made new friends, woken up before sunrise to exercise and meditate; each of those things are something small- a 20 minute part of my day that definitely leaves me feeling better than nothing. 

So, since I've come to that conclusion, here is my something small. A post to get the ball back rolling.
Hopefully it snowballs.
