Moving and Growing

Thanks to those of you who offered such supportive and kind comments to my last post. I feel honored to have impacted you. I was able to have a long talk with Matt last night about all my ups and downs about blogging, and it turned out that the downs outweighed the ups. For a number of reasons, blogging just doesn't seem to be a fit for me right now. I'm wanting deeper connections than the internet can give me (and I want my family members to CALL me rather than just learn about me through my blog... you know who you are ;)), more time spent reading books, resting, and journaling rather than online, and basically to use my limited free time pursuing activities that offer me more joy, learning, and spiritual growth. I don't altogether know what that looks like, but I do know that saying 'no' to what doesn't fit gets me off my back and gives me breathing room to think creatively about what does fit.

I'm sure there's a lot here for me to learn about myself, like the way my perfectionism drives me to want to quit everything I start, or how difficult it is for me to finally stop. I'll continue to be open to learning those lessons. But for now, in this situation, no matter how I got myself here, my choice is to not blog anymore. I wish you all the best, and thank you for your connection.
