It's one of those things....you stop doing something for awhile and then it's hard to get back into it. Like sharing here.
I miss this space, sharing our day, my thoughts, documenting the girls activities.
Instagram has sort of taken over my blogging need. It's so much easier to snap a picture, put up a few words and move on. But I like blogging too, it gives me the space to sit and think more in depth about what is going on behind the picture, to remember and think about the scene that happened.
And then I think "But I haven't blogged in so long" and it's hard to pick up again. I analyze that maybe I should change up my posting, make it more in depth, more of my writing, more thinking. But when I start to compartmentalize like that, nothing happens.
I began blogging as a way to document our days, the things that make us happy....hence the title of this blog. Sometimes a picture with just a sentence or two will be good. Other times a poem I have written, or something more in depth. Sharing my knitting, or a project we are working on, pictures of the birds or flowers, pictures of the girls as they do their things.
So I plan on continuing like I started. Sharing bits and pieces of our days and the things that bring us joy. I miss doing that here and having it all in one place. And I miss the community that has built up around this place.
It is time to come back. I am grateful for that.
Welcome back :) When I decided to cut back on posting in the New Year, I knew I couldn't just say I was going to post less, I know me, and I need a plan. So I made one, post three days a week Monday, Thursday and Saturday. So far so good :)
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you back.
Hi Jen, so happy to see you here. I think I must be one of the few people left on the planet that doesn't instagram, no cell phone, no service where I live, so
ReplyDeleteI continue to blog.
So glad you popped in! It's so easy to do instagram isn't it? luckily I have the time to do both but if I was pressed for time it would be difficult to choose.
