This isn’t a reader question, as you may have suspected, although I wouldn’t be all that surprised if a few of you thought it at some point. Obviously you think about my blog all of the time, right??
I thought so.
Anyway, this question is actually one that I posed to myself as I walked to and from the fro-yo shop tonight (As an aside, I want to go on record with saying that fro-yo is almost as good without all the candy on top. Almost) As I wandered down the street observing all the people out enjoying the unseasonably warm evening- 25C in March thank you very much- I started to think about my blog, why I haven’t been blogging as much, and what I planned to do about that (if anything) in the near future.
I mentioned it before but I have been under a considerable amount of stress lately and I know that’s a big reason that I lost my blogger mojo. When the world is spinning a little too quickly all at once its hard to find the will to sit down and write. Even more so, to find the creativity to write something worth reading. Or that seems important enough to put out there, given the scope of all that is going on in the big picture that is my life.
So I didn’t write because it felt like the right (no pun intended) thing to do. And because frankly, I didn’t really care all that much about missing a few posts. It’s called perspective and the universe handed me a dose of that over the last month.
Not to mention that its very difficult to write about healthy living when you yourself aren’t living all that healthfully. Hypocrisy isn’t my thing, what can I say?
But what now?
Well, I’m writing a post right now so I guess that’s a start. And I am making better nutritional choices and getting to the gym again so perhaps its safe to say I am getting back on track. Yet, for whatever reason or for all of them, I still don’t feel motivated to blog every day. I’m reading all my favorite blogs with the same level of interest as I always had but I just don’t find myself in front of my own laptop, ready to type out my own thoughts, ideas and stories.
I guess its as simple as this; I will write when I have something to say.
And for now, this is all I’ve got.
There’s an excellent chance I’ll be back. Probably before many of you even noticed I was gone. But until then (whenever then may be) I’ll be off just doing my thing.
It’s a break not a breakup. In the mean time, let’s still be friends….
So tell me, do you ever get the urge to take a break from blogging or another hobby?
