Start Over >> Press Play

October 3rd, 2008

Okay, now that the puppy love affair with blogging is over, we can now proceed to what I like to call, “the maintenance phase.”  When I started blogging back in August, it was with a type of fervor you often see in a new relationship.  I was writing daily posts, sometimes two, sometimes three (most of which I’ve taken down).  If I wasn’t blogging, I was reading blogs or commenting on blogs or even reading about how to blog!  I love you, no I love you more!

EVERYTHING became blogging fodder … I’m riding the bus, I’ll write about it!  I’m eating a sandwich, who doesn’t want to know about that!  In the first month I had almost 800 unique visitors and 1,600 page views. I was writing and people were reading and this was (and still is) inconceivable to me.  You must understand that most of the time I am talking to my daughter and she takes “not listening to me” to a whole new level.  It’s so sad, but true.  So to have a venue where I put something out there and people actually read it – well it’s gratifying.

But like with any relationship, after about the first month you start thinking in terms of longevity.  Do I really want to be in this relationship?  Maybe we should take a break.  And so I took a break.  What I found, of course, is that I really like writing.  I missed it.  So maybe I’m not as spiritually evolved as I would like to be.  Or maybe I’m not the best writer.  Who cares?  I, like the rest of you, am just trying to find a little piece of happiness.
