You know, I tend to be a very opinionated person. I've learned to control my tongue as I've gotten older, but it takes discipline and restraint. Sometimes I get over-excited and invested and don't do so well at keeping my opinion to myself. I think blogging has helped me a great deal in this area though. Maybe it's because I have an avenue for my vents and a release for those opinions to go. But often times I regret some of the things I post on my blogs. I think if I regret the things I post, I must post things I shouldn't post. hmm. So...
I don't know if it is because I've been sick this whole last week or if it is something else, but I just don't feel like blogging right now. My last few posts have been very "forced" and I don't like that. If the words don't come easily, I don't want to publish it. I've struggled with writer's block for a couple of months now. I don't know what it is. I just feel very disinterested lately. So I think I might take a little break. I probably won't post as often as I have in the past. If I feel the urge to write, I'll write, but if I don't, I won't. Maybe I'll see you soon... or maybe not so soon... we'll see. I'll be checking in on your blogs though! I'm not disappearing... just... pondering.
Ginger, I hope you will take the time you need and find what you're looking for. I went through the same thing about a month ago and didn't have the desire to write a thing, but after walking away a while, it returned. It allows you to breath and just be, so take your time and know we'll miss you while you're pondering, but understand completely!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephani. You are a good friend. You said exactly what I think I needed to hear. I think I'm changing and I think I just need time to figure out what I'm changing into. :) I missed you while you took your break, but I have so enjoyed your posts since you have been writing again. Maybe I'll come back in better shape than I am now. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a strong supporter of taking a break. We live in such stressful times. I can't imagine what you have to deal with on a daily basis. I found ranch duties stressful and I wasn't working another full time job while I did them! I don't know how you do it. Take your time. Give up whatever isn't totally necessary to life and family. And rediscover yourself. We're all praying for you! And looking forward to your posts when you return!
