It’s Been A Long Time

One of my many many New Year’s resolutions for 2009 was to start this thing up again. We’ll see how it goes. As I may have mentioned previously, I am a horribly inconsistent person. However, I have realized part of my problem previously was that I was being defeated by my own perfectionism.

I didn’t want to have one of those boring “here’s what I did today” blogs with writing more suited to the journal of a teenaged girl. I wanted it to be about something specific. Like my cousin’s blog or my husband’s blog, both wonderful and insightful. I thought I need to have it be just about beauty, or science, or politics, or cooking, or environmentalism, or gardening. But then I would look at all the blogs already out there about those things and get depressed, thinking I would never be as good as them and unable to decide what I even wanted my main theme to be.

This year, I decided that I would be okay with not having a direction, a theme, or a way to market my blog. I will just post what I wanted to post and see where it leads me. Any topic or incident is fair game. Maybe I will develop a direction as I go, and maybe I will just continue to post random pictures, recipes, movie reviews, sermon recaps, and news items throughout the year. And hopefully, I will be able to cope with that level of uncertainty.
