My life has been a little on the crazy side lately, so many reasons, please just take my word for it. Anyway, I was not in the right frame of mind to blog, try to be creative with the wonderful Saturday Centus crew, or communicate in any way with anyone.
What transpired, after the murky gloom of self-loathing lifted, was TIME! I had not run over to the computer to read blogs, comment on blogs, post on my own blogs, or read about how to make oodles of money with blogs, for a while....I was, instead, playing with my kids! Go figure.
Don't get me wrong, I love to blog...I love to read blogs and cherish the friends I have made though blogging. I have discovered more of ME, and also found out that I write my best posts when I am under considerable pressure/fear and just let things pour out! Now is not one of those times, as you may have guessed.
I think I am now putting my blogging obsession into perspective. I need to a lot some time to it...it is MY thing to do. But I also need to remember to live and create experiences without running the next blog post commentary through my mind as I am doing the activity...yes, I have done that on many occasions!
Well, as I type, my allotted time is up. My youngest son is calling for me to go make model monsters with him. I want to go and do that, so for now, I am signing off.
Well said. I know the feeling all too well. Sometimes I just get burned out or feel I am being repetitive. But I do miss your blogging! :)
ReplyDeletePS- I thought of you often when at the EV shows. There was a blonde woman in the front row two nights (WTF? Who does she know/sleep with???) Anyway, she was dancing away to Unthought Known and when he sang the line "Gems & Rhinestones" I would sing along for you wishing we could be dancing right alongside that lucky B*tch! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, thought of you much during Just Breathe - wishing you well from across the world. xoxoxo, Shannon
One thing I learned the hard way -- Never pass a moment of play with our children. Those will be the memories they tell you about in later years.
