I was just thinking about Rob's mom and I could not remember the date of her death. And so I went scrolling through some of my old blog posts.
And I remembered why I loved to blog.
Loved. I recognize the past tense.
I think I still would love it, if I just had the time and mental energy. Life takes a lot out of me these days, and while I feel like I have enough energy to manage, and be happy, and cook, and go to work, I don't have a lot of extra energy to write.
Never looks like it, but writing takes (me) a lot of down time. I heard someone say once that you have to be really lazy to be creative. I took that to mean, lots of time to sit around and think. And then think some more.
I'm going to try and find me that space. Because there are a lot of things I would have forgotten if I hadn't written about them at one point in time.
And my days are good, and I want to remember them.

It can be tough to fit in blogging. I'm always glad when I do though.
I can totally relate. I haven't done a post in weeks. Of course, life has been ... life-like, ie tough.
I resonate. I love blogging and re-reading stuff from way back makes me grateful that I did because I wouldn't remember it otherwise I miss the passion of the early days when I would get caught up in writing and lose myself in the energy of it. My life now has different demands than my life then did so the chemistry has changed. Yours is one of the blogs that I always return to, so whatever capacity you do find to write in, just please carry on!
