I know. I 've been busy and have plenty of reasons to neglect this site.
But if I was honest with myself, I know everything is a choice. I do have 6 children to care for, feed, clothe, educate, keep safe, entertain, taxi, etc... But I also have made a choice to divert energy to Facebook.(I like being able to touch into my friend's lives, with little effort on my part. Giving them tidbits of my life. Letting them know I care with a comment or wall post. And, the opportunities to reconnect with 10 and 15 year long lost friends has been invaluable and delightful!)
I can justify attention to Facebook all day long, but I know that it is only a junk food fix for the real outlet that I need. Likewise, I realize that neither FB nor blogging will ever replace the need for true face to face relationships.
Yet, I loved the process of documenting my life. I imagine that maybe in a 100 years, a great grand child would stumble upon my ramblings about the good ole days.
So, in light of the coming Thanksgiving holiday, and an effort to return to purposeful blogging, I am committing to come here first, before the FB world, to post on thankfulness, for the next 21 days. With any luck, I will also get you reacquainted with myself and my family.
...but lets hold off on calling it a comeback for a bit.
Awsome! I have another blog to read! The only other blogs i know of are family, and they are sometimes a little tooo perfect for me to swallow! I like your blogging style! Just like me it's more to document and to let others peak in from time to time to see what going on in your life. I have other blogs that i read where people blog about EVERYTHING.... clothes/stuff they want to buy, every book or movie they review, ect!
ReplyDeleteHope you keep it up... you'll motivate me to blog more often too!
