So, the last few days I've been thinking about starting up my blog again. The kids are back in school and the weather is cooler -which always urges the writer in me. Problem is, it's also going into the busy season for our business. Looking at my old posts I stopped work on the blog when I got busy making money and haven't done anything since. I completely loved my blog. My dilemma now is whether or not to try again...as I'm again coming into the busy time of year for not only work, but holidays, too. The idea was when my youngest entered kindergarten -I would write! I would finally have time to write! I have been looking forward to this for 5 years! I committed myself to writing this blog originally to encourage myself and maybe others to search out the good in every day. I know that I focus too much of my brain power on the problems of the world, specifically our country. I want to unplug from that for a portion of my day and find the amazingly small but significant joys in my everyday life. I want to reconnect to happiness and my family.
I recently read a blog post from another writer that struggled with what to write. Dark or light. She concluded that there was enough darkness in the world and she would make her job as a writer to fill the world with light through her words. I agree. I too have struggled with the insanity that plagues my mind and would make for good storytelling, but feel a responsibility to hold it back and let it settle back into its dark corner buried, buried, buried. Just because you can -doesn't mean you should. It is more gratifying to lift and inspire the living spirits than to conjure up the dead ones. And I LOVE a hero. Right now, female heroes.
Today, I will be my own hero, give it another shot and keep my eyes and heart open in search of the silver lining.
Genesis 1:3-4
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
