Blah

Lately I've had an "overwhelming sense of ickiness" (name that movie). Although last week I tried to get back into the swing of things with my poor little blog, I've lost the motivation again.    Maybe it's the awesomeness of the blogs I read?  The pretty headers, the intelligent and thoughtful writing?  Maybe I don't feel up to par?  I don't know?


I have been reminding myself why I blog day after day.  Reminding myself when the guilt was settling in for not posting. ("Why do I feel guilt???)  Anyway, besides blogging for my family and friends (especially family who do not get to see the kids all the time) I blog to keep a sort of diary of my interests and projects, I blog to support those blogs I really enjoy and their owners.  When I like a blog, or site, I often share it in a post.  I like the blogging "community"  I feel it connects people with similar interests.  I live in New England and can "talk" with a mom in New Zealand.  How else would I ever get the chance to "meet" someone from New Zealand?  It's not likely in my everyday life.  I also have met people close to home.  By joining Heather's 30 Day Vegan community last August I "met" Jamie.  We have much in common.  She lives a town over and we plan to meet in person soon.  What are the chances I would have met Jamie if it weren't for blogging?


Because of blogs, I became interested in Montessori Education and now have a diploma and can teach in a Montessori Preschool/Kindergarten program.  When I wrote about my experiences while working on my diploma, maybe someone who read about it became interested too?


These are the reasons why I love to blog. I know the passion will come back. I know I do not want to give up on my wee blog.  I know I will probably keep posting sporadically.


But for now, maybe a little break is necessary.
