I have to admit something. I’ve been posting crap lately. I haven’t been giving my posts my full attention and I’ve been putting out junk that isn’t up to snuff. I’m on vacation with my family and want to be here not on my phone writing. But the goal I set on January 1st is still very real and I haven’t been doing it justice.
So many things have happened recently that are weighing on my mind. Changes at work. My mom’s birthday. Our new baby on the way in May. I want to write about it but I haven’t been giving myself the space to really flesh out my thoughts. Since my mom’s passing in 2013 I have gotten pretty good at compartmentalizing. Until I’m not good at it. And I explode with emotions and stress.
The blessing of this blog is that I’ve created a space for myself to think through complex feelings and to share with others. And I have to remember that that’s what it’s for. Not just to put something up arbitrarily because it ticks a box.
So here’s to me renewing my goal to post once a day. To hold myself to a higher standard. And to use this forum to share my experiences in hopes to better understand how I feel and to connect with others.
Thanks for hanging in there with me.
