I haven’t posted for well over a week. Rather comforting. No deadlines. Of course I was busy with two family reunions, one at our house on the 4th and another in Vermont over the weekend.
I took the time to reflect on what I want to do with this blog. I’m not ready to let it go, but I don’t want to continue the commitment to post a ‘Daily Quote’, something I’ve done every day (I think I missed one day) since I started the blog in November 2009. That adds up to approximately 3000 quotes. Of course there’s always a quote to be had, but lately I’ve been adding them as habit more than as something I want to say. The process has felt like a chore, not a joy: find, copy, paste, add a picture—and do it every day.
Plus, stand alone quotes don’t resonate with me any more. I sense this is part of a longing for more simplicity in my life. I yearn to get rid of more stuff, including daily routines that take mental and physical time.
Stay tuned. I love to write and share what I’m thinking. Hmm, quoting others isn’t that.
