If you’ve been a reader for awhile,
you know my struggle with the blog life.
You’ve seen my love/hate relationship….
my ups and my downs.
It ebbs and flows,
and for awhile,
I have been rollin’ right along with it.
It’s back though,
that unsettling feeling.
And I think it’s because life has been bumped up a notch.
I just catch myself wondering once again…
why do I do this?
But, I already know the answer.
I do this for me.
I NEED to write.
I do this for you.
We NEED to relate.
This is another home for me.
A place to breathe and unwind and be me.
Love me or hate me.
But, I keep hearing this phrase…
“everything in moderation.”
And I push it aside,
because that phrase must not understand that you don’t become
“known”
in moderation around these here blog parts.
But, don’t they say,
if you let something go
and it comes back
it was meant to be?
And of course it came back.
“everything in moderation.”
So annoying when that voice is right.
I will always be here.
Writing.
Expressing myself.
It may just not be me here every day.
I’m thinking I may want to start showcasing other bloggers by allowing weekly guest posts.
You know, share the limelight.
I can do that…
I have three sisters.
{so, ya interested?}
I also think it’s time to work on that book dream of mine.
I started it,
and there it has sat,
month after month,
all by itself.
I really do believe now is the time to get back to it.
So ya,
blah, blah, blah,
same post different day.
But this is my place to write my thoughts,
and today, this is what you get.

my blogging comes and goes………sometimes it’s everyday, but sometimes i can only get to it once a week! we’ll still be here when you come back. =)
I’m having the same thoughts lately. I may take a semi-break during the summer.
Love it, Summer. There’s a lot of peace in letting the blog go a bit. I’m with you in that I need to write. I need to have my blog. But sinec I don’t hold myself to writing ALL the time, I’m so much more proud of what I do write, and I don’t have to wonder if I’m spending TOO much time on it. It just feels right. Ya gotta find what feels right for you. We’re not going anywhere. 🙂
Oh, I write a post like this at least once a week. 🙂 I guess it shows that at least you are recognizing what your priorities should be…we all love it when you post and understand that a lot of things are more important. But I’ve come to think that there is not a darn thing with wanting to blog…moderation is the key.
I do the same thing! Especially with my book, it’s just waiting for me to keep writing it, but nothing. Anyways..have a GREAT day (:
I’ve been struggling recently too. Other things have just trumped my blog lately & I have to just go with the flow and do what feels right. If that means only posting a few times a week… then that’s what it means. I give you props for doing as well as you have with this bad boy with all the changes you’ve had going on around your house these last few months! Not sure how you do it all! I stand by your “I’m here when I’m here” idea & think guest posters would be fun too 🙂
I SO hear you on this.
I feel you, sweetie! Sometimes it feels like a job. I HAVE to write… I HAVE to comment. BUT recently I have been living my life. Sometimes I miss out on reading, or I dont take pictures of everything.. but I am happy and so is my family. I can really live my life again! 🙂
for a while I was really into blogging. But then I got in a slump. I think I had a whopping 7 posts last month. Life gets busier and you have to prioritize. so yeah it does come and go..but that’s not a bad thing. Your true friends and readers will always be here for you!
We’ll take whatever we can get from you…Whether it’s every day or once a week…We’ll appreciate it!
i feel guilty sometimes and get stressed out and its REDICULOUS! no reason for this outlet to make me feel that way. sometimes i just mark everything in my reader as read, then snuggle with the hubs and a glass of wine.
love ya girl. 🙂
I have been struggling with bloggy issues lately too. Some days, I don’t want to post, but then I feel guilty when I don’t. Maybe I need to do what you did here and post about exactly that. 🙂
I have felt like that many times! But I am very thankful I found your blog – I enjoy it@
Sometimes I have no energy or inspiration to blog… but then it comes to me and I am happy!
I hope you had a great Mother’s Day!
you can either write about the life or live the life. don’t feel guilty about that.
we’ll be here.
I think you’re right – you just need to do what makes you happy. Be true to yourself – blog when you won’t, and when don’t want – don’t. As a new blogger I’ve started to feel similarly, but quickly I realized that that’s not what I signed up for here – to make myself anything but happy. xxSAS
It’s all about finding a balance, it’s hard to find time to blog ALL of the time, you just have to make your family and activities a priority, blogging should come in second place. I think you do a good job with this. 🙂
i think guest posts would be great- it’d be fun to learn about your sisters!
i love your posts and even if i don’t get to read them every day i always go back and read them. blog as you will. love you!
