I was chatting with my youngest sister this week about the fact that I am blogging less. I took a look at the archives and you can see that my blogging dropped significantly after June when EM had her seizure. My sis says it’s not that I have run out of things to say, it’s more a problem of being able to fit the blogging in with my current obligations. She’s right.
There are times when I am driving, and I’ll see something along the road, or hear something on the radio, and find myself mentally composing a blog entry. I love the sentences that come with that first attempt, but the problems is that when I finally get the chance to sit down and put them on the computer, I’ve forgotten what I wanted to write about. So, memory is playing a part here, too.
There are no rules to follow. Nothing says that I have to make a specific number of entries a month. or a week, but, I know how hard it is to follow a blog that tends to lie fallow. That any of you come to read is a miracle.
I know that the demands on my time will change eventually. I may even become more organized and make blogging a regularly scheduled activity. Until then, I appreciate that you come to read.
If I don’t make it to your blog in the next couple of days, Dear Husband, Elegante Mother and I all wish you health and good fortune in the coming year, and a Merry Christmas!
Oh Buffy. Please don’t worry, I certainly understand. There comes a time in everyone’s life when things get in the way of what you want to do. The thing to do is to try to enjoy what you can with your life. And with Christmas coming try to make it a time for relaxation and fun.
Have a wonderful Christmas Buffy, you and all your family.
Buffy–Adele reflected my feelings very well in her comment; so, I’ll say, “Me, too.”
Me three 🙂
Hey, this is your blog, you can do whatever you want (including bloggging more or less than usual). We all understand that there are time contraints, and blogging has to take a back seat to many other things.
If you don’t get back to us, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your entire household!
Thank you, Adele, for your wonderful note. As I read it, I was thinking “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” You’re right. Instead of worry about blogging, I should be looking forward to our Christmas celebration. Perhaps, it was less the act of putting my thoughts on the computer, and more, the lack of contact with friends, that was bothering me.
We wish you relaxation and fun with your family. Merry Christmas!
And to Cop Car, Blue Witch and bogie, we wish you a Merry Christmas, and all the best this coming year. You’re great friends!
