I think my favorite thing about blogging is going back through my archives and reading all the tedious details that I've tortured you with. They give me great joy. However, I never fail to think that I was a much better blogger in seasons past. I wrote more frequently and my posts were much more clever. On one hand, I would say that its because mothering and managing our home is requiring so much focus that I'm lacking in the creativity department. On the other hand, I think life has just gotten harder. It's not all fun and games and I can't portray it that way.
For many reasons things have been pretty intense in our family for the past 6 months to a year. It would be tempting to think my family alone in this, but I know better. I look around at others and we are all dealing with big stuff.
This is where I struggle when it comes to blogging. I really do want to write about major life events and struggles going on in my life, but sometimes it just isn't smart. I have to think about the way my sharing will effect the ones I love. Thank goodness I'm not stuck inside these four walls with only my computer. God has given me some amazing friends and family members to walk through life with. I know I can fulfill that need to share and be encouraged through my close in-the-flesh relationships. But when I feel like I can't write about something important going on, it sort of brings my blog to a whisper.
