You know, there was a time on this blog where I wrote something (anything) every single day – or at least most every day. Those days seem to be a thing of the past, and though I miss having new content on my blog daily, I find that I lack the motivation to actually put it there. I need some blogging elves – like the ones the shoemaker had – that will just take care of posting things to this blog while I sleep.

I’m not really sure what changed that made me loose the motivation to write here. I know I slowed down a bit when Spencer was born, but the near screeching halt didn’t really come until sometime this past summer. Was it the move? The newly cramped quarters? I honestly, don’t know.

At any rate, I also realize that I am, and always have been, a horrible journal keeper. And as cliche as I think it is to say that “this blog is my journal,” there is a certain amount of record keeping that takes place here. And there really is a lot that has transpired over the last several months that has yet to be written down or recorded… a lot of significant things even.

So, today, I try again.
I cannot vow to write weekly, or daily, or to keep up with any regular schedule – because I don’t think I’d stick to it. All I can do is try to catch up, even a little. So, I will commence at this moment in writing a post that at minimum moves me in the direction of catching up. Look for that post later today.

In the meantime, if any of you hear of any blogging elves, please let me know!
