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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
So, today, I try again.
\nI 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.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, if any of you hear of any blogging elves, please let me know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
