A New Start

As you can see, it has been many months since I have added to my blog. Computer woes at home was just one problem. My main obstacle seemed to be that life just got in the way. However, I was just thinking about just how much I enjoy recording my thoughts here. My blog gives me opportunities to sit back and reflect on my favorite subjects: photography, literature, art, craft projects and the simple pleasures of life. I can stand back from the ordinary times in my life and begin to see those people, places and events which serve to inspire me. This blog helps be to bring more joy and creativity into my life!

And as the new year approaches, I thought that I would update my blog a bit. I am still struggling to find a background template that I like, but I am definitely going to continue to publish what I can my "creative ramblings". I may comment a book that I am reading, write about a favorite photographer, share a favorite quote, or describe my latest craft project. I will still add my photographs when I have a chance, but I don't think that every entry will include a photo. (I found that I got very far behind in adding blog entries if I didn't have photos to go with them.)

I really do enjoy the writing process. It helps me to have the theme of creativity so that my blog entries flow and do not stagnate with just descriptions of daily frustrations. (Yes, I know that my frustrations will pop up here from time to time!)

In addition, I really do enjoy visiting other people's blogs. I glean more inspiration from reading your blog entries and viewing your photographs. Keep up the good work!

My goal for the new year is to continue to add meaningful entries to my blog on a regular basis. I realize that I may not be able to add daily entries, but I will definitely try to be
consistent . In turn, I will be around to visit your blogs very soon.

All the best for 2008. Happy blogging!
