If you look at your blog archive it will tell you how many times you have posted this month, this year, and every previous year you have been blogging. Sometimes I stalk my own blog and I noticed one day last December that I posted more times in 2009 than I did in any other year. So I went to investigate. What could have possibly been going on in 2009 that was so exciting? And better yet, what was more exciting than my life currently? Well, I moved to Texas, that's what happened. And that was a big one. It's hard to top. But I made a mental goal to spend more time blogging this year. And to beat that pesky goal of 50 blog posts in one year.
Why, you ask? Why do I need to beat my record? Well, I don't really need to. I don't know that my life will all of the sudden make sense and I will have it all figured out. But I do enjoy blogging. I feel like my time is being put towards something useful when I blog. Even if the topic is silly or nothing special. It sort of makes me feel like I have more control in my life. Or maybe that I just simply have more of a life. Does anyone else feel that way? I don't know, maybe it's just me. But I'm behind. Really behind. I need to be blogging about once a week on average and I am only on post like, what? 3? for this year.
So, if you see a wave of posts coming in or a steady incline in my archive history, you know what's going on.
Happy Blogging!! (And Happy Valentine's Day)
I'm in love with any reason for more blog posts, but I definitely feel the same way about my own blog. It makes me feel like if nothing else, the strange/boring/ridiculous events in my life have a purpose if I can write a blog post about them. I'm so excited to hear what you're going to say! Also, I try to beat my posts as well, but I think I'm already off to a slow start this year as well.
