My blog is 9 years old today, and it’s been 6 months since I’ve written in it. I find both of those time frames amazing.
I used to write in Snippets and Tidbits all the time. Now, I can’t seem to find the time to read a book, make my bed (who wants to do that anyway) or get regular exercise. So, what changed?
I do sleep more than I did. I was told caffeine wasn’t really my friend and to go with the natural flow for sleep with the goal to get a good solid 8 hours. And I decided to take a bit of time in the morning for meditation/reflection, which is good for me. But it seems these self-care health changes have impacted others. I used to get up and go for a walk, but now I’m sleeping in. I know the thought is to go to bed earlier, but 10 is early enough, and during the work season, I don’t get home until then anyway. In any case, I guess it’s a matter of priority. You can always make time for something you feel is a priority.
When I do find the time to sit down, I seem to have “lost my voice”. For a while there were things going on that I wanted to write about, but felt I couldn’t. When I could write about them, I didn’t want to anymore. I didn’t want to give the subject more power. And I didn’t feel, “I got up, ate food, worked, did chores and went to bed.” merited a blog post.
Over the last six months, I’ve certainly had a few things to write about. I’d like to find my “voice” again and exercise my sense of humor and blogging brain again.
Let’s start with a generic update, and I hope I can expand from there in future blogs.
M turned one and is now 18 months old. She’s amazing!
Work continues to grow and evolve .
We sold our BIG house and are living in a much smaller home.
We went on tour to England and Scotland. Hubby and I went to the Highlands after the tour group left, and I continued on to Ireland.
I guess those would be the highlights.
So, yeah… kinda boring post, but… it’s a post, and that’s a start.
