Never thought of that...

I find that I’m always speechless when it comes to writing here at the blog space.  I have been thinking it’s because I’m uninspired, or maybe it’s not the right time - I find all kinds of excuses.  Here’s a thought that just came to me... maybe it’s because like so many other things in my life, I have so much to say that I’m overwhelmed with where to start, so I just don’t.  [insert pondering face icon LOL] This certainly could be true.  I might have come up with one small part of a solution to that.  My favorite blogger of all time, who seems to have stopped blogging altogether in lieu of writing books :-( and marketing other devotionals.  Yeah, it could be jealousy making that sad face, but it could also just be disappointment.  Her blog has been such a gift to all of her readers, it’s just sad to see her step away from it and narrow her focus and her audience.

Anyway, I digress. She nearly weekly had a post where she divided topic and wrote just a blurb about what was going on in that area of her life.  I really like that idea.  I think maybe that would work for me.  I steered clear of doing it before, because I really don’t like the idea of stealing someone else’s idea.  But, as I said, she is no longer blogging so there is no longer that type of post, and my topics could and probably would be different.  I don’t have to use the same topic titles, you know what I mean?  Our lives are very similar in many way, but different in an equal amount of ways.  It’ always been very interesting.

So, what will the topic titles be?  I need to work on that.

On a different note - I think I might start working through Julia Cameron’s Walking in This World.  It’s the second book in the three book series that began with The Artists’ Way.  I have started and stopped in that particular book many times, never finishing it.  I have seen reference to this second title a couple of times in the last few days, so I’m taking it as a sign or suggestions to pick it up and try something new.  I don’t think Julia would mind LOL

One challenge right off the bat is photos.  I’m having a difficult time figuring out how to get photos from my phone to the ipad so I can use them for the blogs.  That can’t be too difficult, right?  It’s just will require a little bit of time dedicated to really solving the mystery.  Where is Christina?

There’s another - oh wait, I didn’t even finish the very first thought I started this post with... LOL. The very reason I suggest that it’s because I’m overwhelmed and don’t know where to start is because no one could possible say that I don’t have anything to share - to say.  When my poor husband (or anyone else available when the dam bursts open) is so patient with me and gives me his undivided attention while I go on and on and on about any number of subjects.  What the subject is can very so vastly that I suspect he often leaves the conversation with whiplash!  My point is this - I always have something on my mind, something I’d like to write about, share, chew on... I jump from one thought to the next and creating any cohesiveness about it is probably my number one challenge. So I just realized that if that is the case when I’m talking, chatting, rattling on and on about whatever... then it’s likely it is the same in my writing world.  Don’t you think?

And where was I going in the paragraph before the last?... Christina, oh yes.  I have debated back and forth with myself as to whether or not I want to get personal on this blog and use my family’s real names.  I’m still not sure.  Maybe that’s one more thing that I really need to make a decision about.  Because I wouldn’t want ot do it for a period and then change my mind and feel like I need to go back and edit out anything that I eventually deem to personal.  [insert pondering face icon, again LOL]

Times I up for now!  Gotta wake the troops.  

Peace, out!
