Blog Changes

It has been close to two weeks since I last posted. It has been a few months since I let this much time go between updates. 

I have intentionally not been updating because I've been trying to decide what to do with this blog of mine. I started it last August to keep in touch with my family and friends back home, but then this summer started using it to connect with other bloggers. 

While it has been an absolute delight discovering new blogs, and connecting with the wider blog community I find lately I've lost interest in writing because it feels more something I have to do, rather than something I want to do. 

To connect with other bloggers, and gain followers for this blog I've also been pressuring myself to try and write about things and present myself in a way that might appeal to friends I haven't met yet (aka strangers).  I don't even know if this was a necessary move as I never made any attempt to connect my blog to those outside my Facebook network until this summer. 

To be completely honest I'm also not a big technology fan. I dislike immensely looking at the clock to realize I've spent two hours accomplishing nothing, sitting on my butt and staring at a screen. I will say, I love that the internet allows me to remain connected with friends and family, the ease of which it can answer questions, and the ability to watch TV shows I've missed.

Blogging everyday was requiring far too much sitting in front of the computer for my liking. I was cranky with Jay, snacking too much, and not getting outside enough. Nothing that I am proud of. 

All this to say, I am again revamping my blog. From now on I am going to try and post once a week, on Sundays, an update of our life adventures. This will be largely with the intention of connecting with my friends and family back home. If you happen to be a fellow blogger who is interested in keeping up on my life, I welcome you with open arms. If this change doesn't interest you, I won't be upset if you stop following my blog. 

Life is too short to do things that stress me out or make me unhappy. I love writing and sharing, but it needs to be on my terms. 

That is my rant for the night, and hopefully my last rant for a while. I feel like there is a little negative energy in this post so I am going to share my life updates in another happier post in just a few minutes. 

As always, thanks for the support, for sticking by me and the blog. I hope these changes will help make this more fun to read and write! 

Keep Smiling :)
