Well. It's been a long time once again.
I've returned to posting again because of another blogger that uses this site, Craig Harper and his website, craigharper.com.au.
I've re-read the last post I made here and as the title suggests, what was I thinking???.
I don't think the sole commenter to that post was very far off the mark in many ways, although I think the approach was very similar to my own, but regardless of that, the sentiments were, I suspect, generally pretty accurate.
The question was asked, "What harm does it do to me?" and while I disagree with any religion that is the basis of conflict, it's a valid question. The answer of course is none and for that reason, I will refrain from that type of post.
There is no value in it. It is negative and helps no one, including myself.
I have every intention of following the advice of Craig.
In the past, I have done the same thing and got the same results. What a surprise !
And while making lasting and meaningful change is difficult for some, not to do something different is at the very least, a pointless exercise.
To quote Albert Einstein (and contained in a recent post of Craigs)
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
While I suspect I may have a degree of insanity :-), given previous posts, I have no intention of giving in to this particular brand of insanity.
As my wife (a most wise woman) pointed out. Life is too short.
I have no way of knowing whether I will post regularly, but if I do, then I hope they will be helpful to others. They will certainly be positive.
Thanks Craig

Hi Alan
Your wife is right. Life is too short. Too short to do the same crap and expect to live an AMAZING life.
Hope you're doing, being and thinking different now. Live in the 'now.' Keep that head quiet. I need to start reading The Power of Now again (I got up to page 30 or so a couple of months ago). It's fabulous.

Thanks for the first good comment I've received on this blog (such as it is). If you've read some older replies, you'll see what I mean. ;-)
Yep, different person now, still with some old habits hanging around, but not the dickhead I think that I was before.
Awareness is an amazing thing huh?
Get lost in the book again, it IS fabulous and no doubt it'll help your journey, wherever you are in it.
Hope you like Melbourne when you get there and I'll ask you questions for 2 minutes in Anglesea if that's OK. ( I seem to recall a post of yours saying you'd be there)
Thanks again and look forward to meeting you
Alan
