Priorities

I have successfully written a monthly blog for a number of years now. I am very proud of this blog – even if no one reads it. I enjoy writing on and about things that strike my fancy, and these entries have created a nice time capsule for who I am/was over the years.

These last 6 months of writing here, however, have felt more like a dreaded homework assignment over a fun, writing exercise. I am learning in this new year that I am stretched a little too thin, and not really living so much as doing a list of various tasks daily. I want to change that. I want to be happy, and want to prioritize my happiness and prioritize how I am choosing to live my life. That means taking a few things off my plate.

So, that said, I will no longer be doing a monthly blog post. This doesn’t mean this blog is done, far from it, (in fact I am working on a post about my love for Judy Garland, stay tuned!) – it simply means that I am allowing myself more time to write entries that mean something to me – that allows me to play with prose and talk about things I am passionate about without this ticking time clock and an attitude of “oh fuck it, I’ll just post whatever.”

I don’t want this to be a “whatever” blog, so it needs to cease being monthly.

Whew! I few better already. Again, stay tuned for the next entry — whenever it may be!
