One Good Turn

The other day, I was riding the train to work, and the ticket-punching machine wasn’t working. This is pretty common, and what I usually do is find a conductor on the train and have him or her validate my ticket (I usually ride with a 10-punch pass). However, this time I couldn’t find a conductor, and I never saw one walk by while I was on the train.

When I got off at my stop, I contemplated it for a moment, and then I went over to the ticket puncher and validated my ticket on my way out of the station.

No, I haven’t given up on doing good turns. 

I’ve just been busy.  I’ve tried to keep doing all the things I’ve learned this year (browse the archives to see what I mean), as well as keep doing new good turns.  However, I’ve just had a hard time keeping up with writing this blog.  Anyone who’s ever tried to blog consistently over a long period will know what I’m talking about — it requires a huge amount of time and effort.  What I didn’t want to happen was for blogging to get in the way of trying to keep improving (or any other important parts of my life, really).

Recently, I’ve found a couple things that I’d like to write about, so hopefully, with time permitting, I’ll get back to more regular postings.
