Having doubts.......
As I suspected would happen, this blog thing is already not going as planned... I really just don't have the time. When I think about trying really hard to make the time, I wonder if it's really even worth it because I feel like no one is even reading it. I originally started the blog so that family and friends that don't live near here could keep up with our lives, but a few of them have already expressed they don't have time to follow the blog, or don't prefer to be updated via the internet. Then, I stop to question, who am I really doing this for, and what is my purpose for doing this? Is is going to help me go back and reflect on what's going on in our lives...? Probably not because I am also keeping a journal for Lily, not to mention, years to come will this blog actually still exist, and even more will I really go back and read it?? When I look at all the things I want to accomplish in my spare time, like spending more time with God, organizing numerous areas of my home, make homemade baby food for Lily, read more, scrap booking etc etc... blogging to me is probably pretty low on the totem pole. I would feel better if I knew people were actually reading it, and actually cared about what I took the time to write, but I'm thinking that's just not the case. I definitely understand and am by no means offended if people don't have the time or the interest in my blog, but when dividing my time I feel it shouldn't be wasted on something that's not even being read. Maybe I'll see if I get many responses from this post to gauge if I should continue or not.. In the mean time, for you few readers out there our Holiday travels to Florida and WI went very well, and since I love pictures, I will add a few featuring our trips.

Oh.my.Lord. Yesterday I wrote a novel of a comment and it's gone off into cyberspace it seems :-( I will try to recap....
ReplyDeleteWell, I know I'm just chopped liver but I do read all of your blogs. Personally, my blog is for me. It's my outlet and if others actually read it that's great but I really don't care because I'm doing it for myself. I don't have the time or patience for journaling by hand so my blog is kind of my journal. I am actually planning to have it made into a book at some point, like a scrapbook (using blog2print) so it will be something I am able to look back at long term.
I think you should do whatever works for you. If journaling by hand is your thing then do that and don't worry about not having a blog that others can read/see. If it's really important to you to keep family up to date but they don't read your blog then find another way that works for everyone. Maybe you'll take up blogging at some other point in time. Don't worry about what anyone thinks or what you should or shouldn't do, just do what works best for you and your family.
Awww, Carlie, you're too cute! I still do an occasional blog and I only have 3 followers! I just post something when I have time or feel like it, I don't go out of the way to do it. Oh, homemade baby food is soooo easy! Make up big batches, put in ice cube trays and freeze. I have only had to make food 2 days and Abigail has had it for almost a month now :)
