You know...last DECEMBER! I am guilty of blog neglect. I actually started a post about Daniel's birth story, but yet it still sits in my queue unfinished almost 2 months later...<br /><br />I really miss it sometimes. The connection, the peek into the lives of my favorite people. And mostly I miss writing. It became something that I never knew I would enjoy so much. But for me it comes down to time. I don't miss the time that i used to put into blogging. Writing the post, editing the post, choosing and editing just the right picture, checking obsessively for new comments. Then of course my reader was at one time so full of new posts to read and I always felt the need to leave a comment, even if just out of politeness. I really allowed the whole thing to take up so much time and I wasn't good about balancing it all. I've always said that you make time for the things that you love. I guess that's why I don't make time for it anymore. The enjoyment I once found in blogging has waned. I would love to enjoy it again.<br /><br />As for Instagram and Facebook, they work so well for me. Maybe it's because I am inherently lazy and it is just so much easier to post a picture and a few sentences about whatever is going on, than to put together an actual post. Whatever the reason, I sure do love it.<br /><br />To make a long story short, (too late!) in the time it took me to write this comment from my phone, I could have finished Daniel's birth post. ;)tharkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959419902975113806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35261553.post-91633168626613467142012-08-31T11:21:17.765-07:002012-08-31T11:21:17.765-07:00I know exactly what you mean.

Now that school is starting back up, I'm vowing to post more often. <br /><br />I'm glad you're blogging again, and I can't wait to hear what you have to say!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991679949885252043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35261553.post-87482093430142340482012-08-30T18:28:12.626-07:002012-08-30T18:28:12.626-07:00Um, I mourn your silence in the blogosphere all th...Um, I mourn your silence in the blogosphere all the time! You're still on my favorites list in case you post something. I love reading Brooke! But I also know what you mean. I asked for blog recommendations on Facebook a while ago because all my favorites were falling silent. I understand, though. Life gets busy. FYI, I love your snarky posts, but I also love your "journal" posts of pictures of your kids and your life happenings. It's fun to peek into friends' lives, whether they are sharing opinions, creative writing, or life. Hope you'll come back. Maybe just doing it will revive some enthusiasm? (Yes, I'll say anything to get my Brooke fix back). :D :DLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10489746595325748833noreply@blogger.com
