I know, I haven't posted for awhile. I'm trying to decide if I'm really a blog kind of person. I don't think I am. Here are a couple of my many reasons.
#1. I am innately a very private person. I don't like to talk about my personal life to just anyone. I've always been this way and that's why I've always had a fairly small group of friends. Who am I kidding? Besides my close girlfriends from childhood, I don't really claim any group. I only have a couple of individual friends that I've grown close to and feel comfortable with. Other than that, it's just my family...my dear close family that I need more and more the older I get. So, this privacy thing sort of limits what I want to write about, leaving this blog with a sort of impersonal small-talk feeling. Which leads me to...
#2. I hate small talk. It's exhausting and draining. Relationships never pan out for me unless they can cut through it pretty quick. I'm just not a weather/sports/whatcha up to these days kind of gal.
#3. I'm aware that I'm spending too much time these days sitting in front of screens... my computer, TV, Dallin's new Nintendo DS. I'm always complaining to myself that I don't have enough time for the things that I really want to be doing. When really, I think the problem is that I'm wasting so much time on media. I enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but I hate the power it has to just suck me in. I can't tell you how many mornings I saunter over to my computer just to check my email in my pjs with my cereal bowl in hand. The next thing I know, I'm trying to find things to occupy my children's time so I can continue to surf. Such a time suckage for me and I think it's time I start exercising a little more self-control.
Okay, so that's all I can think of right now. I just thought I needed to give a little explanation to why I seem to drop off the planet once in awhile. I'm not sure how long I will keep blogging. Just need a little break from all the noise in my life. Which leads to an interesting question. I would love to know how any of you cut out some of the noise in your lives. Doen't life need to be a little simpler? Any suggestions, please?
