Ok so a couple weeks ago I read a friends blog, well I should say I read her blog and about four other blogs in the course of about two days, and I found myself asking why I even bother writing on this thing. I don't have a whole lot of time, I cannot articulate things the way many others can and to be honest I am wondering how important it is for me to share my thoughts for a few friends who follow me and maybe some strangers who happen to stumble upon this thing. I originally started because I was on the missions field and it was a great way for me to communicate with friends and family without bombarding them with email after email. Then I thought as I moved out to Nashville and away from a lot of my friends in San Diego it would help stay up with them. I mean lets be honest, if you know me you know I am horrible at writing, calling, texting etc. So for me this was going to be my "gift" to my friends and family. An attempt to communicate better than I ever had and a way to share random stories just like you if we were hanging out together.
Alas I have failed miserably. I did ok when single and then married. I even had a good run when Lily and I got into a normal routine, but now I find myself pregnant a second time, mother of a toddler, teaching dance 4 to 6 times a week and loving on my husband (to name a few things). And honestly I feel wore out. I want to write my thoughts, I want to share with friends and family all the little crazy stories that have happened, but either they aren't happening the same way to used to or I just don't' have the same drive to sit and write out my thoughts for all to read.
So in that I am thinking of closing this blog and going back to old fashion journal writing. A place where I need not be concerned about grammar and who may or may not be reading what Im writing. I can say things without being concerned that it will hurt someones feelings and still leave a history of my life for my children to read in the future.
So this may be it. Im letting you know now so that if you are one of those readers you aren't surprised in the near future if this completely disappears. And if you are a friend or family member who really enjoys the random entries I had on this webpage, well drop me a line or give me a call and I will just read you my journal. :)
