to post

I have to confess that I'm writing from the top of my head again.  I had thought that the habit would have stuck from the 31 day challenge to be more consistent in blogging.  The habit of writing has stuck,  so with that I am happy.  But I have had many blog post in mind,  but the old "sins" of perfectism,  lazyness & comparison have crept up & have kept me away.  I think I must need the accountablity of the challenge.  I'm surprise that I was just a bit dissapointed that I went from close to 50 views to 2.  After all,  I stopped writing for a reader,  so I shouldn't be dissappointed.  I think I need to go back to having goals & objectives.  So,  I'll write them out here: (remember just writing from the top of my head without a plan).  I want to blog at least once a week.  I'd love for them to be well thought out,  with subjects that I want to share with my kids,  but if that doesn't happen before the week is over,  then,  I'll join in the five minute prompt or story saturday or silent sunday.  I need to draft the subjects or thoughts that I wanted to write about.  For instance,  I had a good thought about writing about the correlation between death & beauty in the fall leaves.  These thoughts came to me during my walks with the dogs around the neighborhood.  Yup,  this is a start... amen....

I'm back, just me

No more challenge but I can honestly say that I have thought everyday that I should blog.  I purposely stayed away to give myself time to not just write from the top of my head.  But I have been posting every day on Facebook for Thankfulness days in November.  It's something that I had fun with last year & am continueing the tradition.  I was going to make this Story Sunday,  but it's getting late & I just wanted to make sure that I put in a post.  So,  yeah,  I'm writing from the top of my head,  but it's okay because I am blogging.  I'm feeling consistent.  I'm back,  but I think it's just me here & that's okay.
