I feel that my attention span is getting smaller as I'm getting older. I have dozens of unfinished posts from the past few months that will probably never be published. Why is it so hard for me to finish things? When I cleaned my living room (should probably just call it the shop) I collected so many unfinished projects. My bathroom wall was abandoned before I even primed. Even now, as I type, there are three or four dishes sitting is soapy water, waiting for me to come back and rinse.
I have such great intentions, but my follow-through rate is pitiful.
But, let's put this in perspective...
A year ago I started a new job. During the two months prior to that I was unemployed and beyond depressed. By July of 2008 I'd lost count of the different medicines I'd tried that year. Nothing worked. I slept, cried, cut, and slept some more, all the while overwhelmed by a desperate desire to end it.
It was bad. You don't even know. [And for that matter, I don't even know. My mind blocks out most memories from that fark days]
So, the books that pile up, unfinished, the laundry that waits to be hung, the four month old unsent birthday cards. . . its all going to be ok . I have a [seriously] long way to go, but I'm moving in the right direction.

I thought this commercial was ridiculous at first:
But after reading this story I'm a little less critical. What can I say, I have a soft-spot for the underdog.
