I'm Still Here!

I have made a decision. I'm going to keep blogging. I know, I've been down this road before. To blog or not. It's a conundrum, I dare say. I was really thinking over this past weekend it might be time for my blog retirement.

If I roll over my blogging time into book writing time I can focus on one project. But, eliminating a hobby I enjoy is hard to turn my back on. And anyway my book will be finished eventually, one can hope, and then what will I do?

And then there's the fact that I started blogging in 2008. I know can you believe it? And with the bewildering swell of traffic from fourteen to twenty something followers, and that doesn't even include Switzerland, I can't quit now. If I can make one person chuckle (other than myself), or share a tidbit or two, that is enough for me.

I'm no good at self-promotion (frankly I don't even know what I would be promoting). The conundrum part of blogging for me is walking that fine line between sharing and all out full transparency. How far can one go?

I admire all you other successful bloggers who make a living off of their creativity. I wake up thinking I'll post a new recipe and then by breakfast there's some drama about Lord knows what and that idea flies out the window. I know, I know, I have not even posted one picture in months of our fully renovated home. It's not that I've forgotten, the time just gets away from me. I am all the things my profile says, so life gets busy. But, I promise to keep plugging along as best I can, hoping to share a thing or too and learn something about myself in the process. So, thank you, twenty something people (and Switzerland), for staying with me.
