There was a time when I would write 2 or 3 posts a day on this blog. Much of it revolved around theological stuff, but there was plenty of ‘general silliness’ to keep it human.
These days I don’t write much, mainly because I don’t seem to have the same headspace to create ideas and then the time in the day (or the energy) to articulate those thoughts.
I often find myself having a bloggable thought while I’m at work, but by the time I get home it has either faded into distant memory, or I’m too weary to sit at a computer and try to articulate something thought provoking. So the blog is on a ‘go slow’ indefinitely. I’m not going to shut it down as I’m guessing there will come a time in life again when I have time to focus and write coherently. I actually love writing and would like to get back into it, but for now I’m in a different space in life
Part of it is the drain that physical work puts on me. I enjoy grunt work, but by the same token I often come home exhausted and on the days I’m not doing physical work in someone else’s yard I am likely to be working around my own.
I think the advent of facebook has also contributed to a decline in my own blogging. Now its easy to offer a snippet of an idea rather that fleshing it out. I’m not convinced its a good thing – but that’s just how it is at the moment. I occasionally consider ditching my facebook account because it is a time waster and it is like ‘junk food’, but for now the benefits of connection outweigh the negatives.
So if you’re still reading then I will be in touch occasionally, but probably not that often.
We’re on parallel paths…
Thank goodness for RSS feeds that allow one to keep in touch with occasional posters. When you do articulate something, I usually need to hear it.
Thanks Bob 🙂
Like Bob, I’m on a parallel path. I’m not posting much, and I’m annoyed with FB. Like you, I often have something I want to share, yet, by the time I have the time to sit and write, I’ve forgotten the thought completely, or it’s simply going to take too much energy and time to flesh out what’s on my mind. So, we’ll continue to post as often as we can, and not feel guilty about those days/weeks/months we can’t. Still, whenever you post, I sure do enjoy it.
Facebook encourages shallowness in my opinion. I don’t deny it has a place, but I like some meat in my media diet.
