It's A Love "Thing"

It seems like I'm only posting every five months now. Don't know why, and really, who cares? I'm just feeling bloggy again, that's all.

Right now, I'm sitting at work, sore from yesterday's staff bowling outing, watching wine videos and reading wine articles online. (I don't remember exactly the last time I bowled, but it's been way too long.)

Wine's my new "thing," my latest interest. It's good to have a "thing," especially a new "thing." I've had other "things," but this one's not tied to my job or business aspirations, or something I'm doing for my health or spiritual wellbeing. (Not that those aren't good things.) It's not something that I feel I "should" do, so the joy won't be stripped of it after six months because of my frustrations of not being better at it. I believe this is love, people. The real thing. It's been almost nine months, and the feeling's still strong.

I've always liked wine, but never really got into it. Like most people, I was pretty intimidated by it. All I knew was Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and White Zinfandel, and not very well. I wasn't big on the reds. Maybe they were just too much for my untrained palate. That's changing now, though. I'm actually very proud of my progress in wine appreciation.

Now that I have something interesting to blog about, I'll be checking in more often. And that's a great thing.
