I’m a writer. But I’m not doing all that much writing, because as it happens, I’m also a teacher. And a wife, a mom, and a neighbor. A sister. A daughter. Et cetera. Even if I do all of those things at something like 20%, I’m still feeling pretty Full.
But I miss the blog. I miss the decade of the blog — I met many of the most important friends in my life through reading and sharing blogs. And now, I can choose to come here (where I’m mostly alone, my favorite place to be) and write some. I’d like to say I’ll write lots, but it’s a little scary to come at a project like Frequent Blogging at the beginning of the year, when new plans feel so tenuous and somehow perilous (if I don’t do it well, am I failing?).
So I’ll say that I’ll be here sometimes this year. I’ll write things. I’ll share ideas (with myself) and I’ll talk about things (with myself) and I’ll work through tough things (with myself) and I’ll celebrate (with myself). Sensing a pattern?
Happy 2020. It’s the year of Focus. Vision. Simplicity.
