For doing exactly what I said I would not do when I started this blog; let months pass by without making an entry.  Why did I let this happen?!

The easy excuse is "I've been busy" but that's really not much of an excuse.  Everyone is busy yet still find time to do things that are valuable.  After all, over the past several months, while I haven't blogged at all, I've been reading other's people's blogs, learning what their opinions are, jumping into a few discussions and following a few groups I'm interested in. So being busy simply does not cut it.

Maybe it's because the benefits of blogging are not immediate and "in your face"?  After all, some business activities translate immediately into quantifiable results so the cause-effect relationship is clear.  Blogging is different.  With blogging, the benefit often remains hidden until months later when I talk in person with someone at an industry event and they say "I read your blog all the time and think it's good (or not)."  When this happens, the activity is validated and you become more motivated to keep in going.

So here I am, back and recommitted to blogging on a regular basis.
