Reprimanded.

I’ve been reprimanded. I set up a blog on this site because I enjoy writing, and I always have something to say. But then the urge to blog became more sporadic, and now I’ve not blogged since last year. What happened? I did enjoy voicing my opinions. I enjoy the concept of a forum where I am free to write and have my thoughts in the world of web. So my mother noted that I have not Blogged in some time, and my daughter basically shook her web finger at me for not keeping up with it.

Blogging is a strange thing, I’ve decided. It takes commitment to keep up with it, and it takes a special kind of person that wants to share his/her feelings about what is going on in their lives, minds, and feelings. The fact is that at this time I have but one follower, and this follower is my mother. So who am I typing to? The reality is that a Blog is mostly for the person that is blogging.

Take my Daughter. She blogs about her passions in crafting, and about anecdotes that occur in her daily life. But even if no person followed her Blog, would she consider doing it still? I don’t know. I’m not Anita. I can’t say for sure, but I know that for me I would like to keep doing so because this is an outlet. A flow of thought expressed in print. Forever there.

I’ve re-read the Blogs I’ve written before, and I learned something of myself. Could this be a reason a blogger blogs? Because for me I noticed a spiritual sort of undertone with my Random Musings. I noticed that I want to enjoy life, that I believe that we reap what we sow, and that I try to see that humans have the capability of being far more than we limit ourselves to. Does every Blogger discover something of himself in his words. Is Blogging a sort of free therapy at our fingertips?

So, why the no Blogging? Was I just being lazy to a commitment that I made to express myself? Can I possibly come up with excuses like: I’ve been really busy? I honestly don’t know. Maybe I lack focus in the blog. By it’s very nature of “Random musing” am I lacking a focal point of what it is that I want to express? Maybe. But really I think it’s the lazy thing. Like I penned before keeping up a blog takes a level of commitment. As such it is easy to allow a day to go without writing one. Then two, a week, a month, and so on.

I am going to get myself reinvigorated here. I am going to re-think my Blogging. Perhaps I will start another Blog about what I am passionate about like my daughter, and mother. I dunno yet. But I will Blog because I am reminded why I do so. Blog On!
