Follow through...

I have trouble with this.  It's not too obvious, is it?  :-)  Ok, I am making an effort here, people!  I get all gung ho about something and throw myself into it head first...only to come sputtering out the other side.  I have no follow through.  I do not know moderation.  How do you learn moderation??

So, here I am back here on my blog.  I am going to try for something other than an "all or nothing" kind of thing here.  Think I can do it?

We will see.  :-)
