I'm really not sure why it is so difficult to sit down and come up with a post these days. This time last year I was posting about once a week. How can I go from once a week to once a month or less?
Honestly, I think it's become difficult to share things...to open up. I don't want to complain about things because it sounds like I'm nagging. I also don't want to make a huge deal out of good things because ...maybe, I'm just afraid that they won't happen again if I mention it a lot. So, I end up not saying or sharing anything.
Where's the middle ground?
Why have I pulled away from blogging?
I do think about it at least once a week, but it's like I'm afraid to jump back in. (sigh) I'm afraid of sounding like a broken record. Sometimes I'll read some of my older posts and think, “I still feel that way,” or “that hasn't changed.” Sometimes I feel like I've lost something...like I'm missing a good friend that's moved away.
I don't know how to talk about it because I don't know what it is.
I sound really bummed out, but actually things are going pretty well right now. Work isn't bad...a little busy at the moment, but I think I can handle it. Our families seem to be doing well or at least getting better. I think Tom and I are going to try to hang out more with one of my old friends and her boy friend. We got together a couple of weeks ago for her birthday and had a good time. I think we will plan another date night in a week or so.
I've started reading Livia Grant's the Passion Series again...I really don't know what it is about this series. I feel so connected to it, so emotionally involved, that the characters just come to life for me. The next book in the series will hopefully be released soon. I know I can't wait!
This post sounds ridiculously random to me, so I think I'll stop here and get some sleep.
Hi Jay,
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to hear from you again even if only to say that everything is OK. The only thing to say about blogging (and commenting) is when you have something to say, then say it. When you need to stay quiet, say nothing. It should be a pleasure to write or why bother.
I am glad that things are good in your world. Most of the time busy is better than sitting on your bum doing nothing.
Anyway have a happy festive season and I hope we will hear more when the time is right.
Don - Thank you for the support. It means a lot to know people are still around to read what I have to say when I finally want to say it.
DeleteHi Jay, Don't worry what you write about. As they say a problem shared is a problem halved. Get things off your chest even if they sound corny to you. We all love hearing from you. Hope the inspiration returns soon.

Lindy - I really was beginning to wonder if I had lost all my readers...it would be awfully lonely if people like you didn't take the time to comment, so thank you! (hugs)
