thinking
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 at 7:58PM I think I may have come to a decision. I think that my blog may have run its course.
OBVIOUSLY I haven't been all that great about updating. And what once was a creative release seems to be more of a chore as of late. And honestly, the last thing I need in my life is one more CHORE.
I'm also tired of worrying about what I write. I'm tired of stressing that my words are going to come back to haunt me in a misconstructed way. Over the past year the internets have amazed me and failed me all in the same breath. Some people out there know me, the real me. They can take what I say and envision me actually saying it and they "get it". Then there are those of you that I've met around them these parts.. who know Jason and I via pictures of our kids and anecdotal stories and maybe you know us.. but maybe you don't?
Impressions are everything, and I'm not all that sure anymore that I want this blog to seriously represent me in real life.
I'm not sure of my next move. So much of my life is documented on these pages, and there are so many things that I've done that I'm so proud of. But I think there might be a better outlet for me, and my quest for creativity, than I'm getting here.
But this can change. I am here. I am around. Just not as I used to be...

I don't know you in person, but I do like to keep up with you on your blog, so I hope you don't close up shop completely - but if you do, I hope you'll still be around in one way or another - that you find what you are looking for and just know that this little corner of the web will miss you!
I have put WAY WAY too much time and energy into mine to quit anytime soon. But I totally understand the "feeling like a chore" thing.
I would miss your blog. I know I don't post many comments, but I read it, and you're witty and funny and sparkly. I would miss it. That said, I do get what you're saying. I hope you find what you are looking for as an outlet, and I hope maybe you'll post here once in a while, as inspiration strikes....
Well, I get that. I really do. I love reading what you have to say, and I often times find myself thinking "me too!" Maybe you are feeling some sort of relief now, having put it out there that you might be ready to move on.
sad! i love to keep up with you guys this way. you are after all, the reason i started blogging myself. but, there is always other methods of communication ;).
May you be blessed this Christmas & Hanukkah and the year ahead with health, happiness and peace!
Much love,
