I’m not disappearing…but I am falling back a gear.
With all of the up’s and down’s going on in my family life at the moment, I’m finding it difficult to maintain the drive to keep writing in my blog at the same pace I started with, many moons ago. For the last two months, I’m afraid I’ve lost something…some kind of spark…some bit of joy and happiness that I’ve always carried around. My world has become a more glum place these days, and there are times when I sit at the computer and wonder “what the hell am I going to write about today?”
So, I’ve decided to simply tone down the pace of updates. Right now, I’m looking at an average of 3 entries a week, with my weekends off. That should give me enough time to assemble thoughts and feelings — or collect interesting trivia over a week of observation — and write them down without feeling I’m giving only half an effort.
But I love my blog too much to completely give it up. After almost 950 posts across 3.5 years, I’m not about to abandon it…and should the spirit move me, extra posts will appear as soon as I can write them down. Let’s just call this a bit of a pull back, and see how I feel in six months or so…
