I have failed.
I skipped over four months of writing a blog! I made a New Year's Resolution to myself that I would write a blog every week. It might have been a zealous goal, but I did make a New Year's Resolution. I wanted to challenge myself to write on a weekly basis, to flesh out thoughts, to deepen my understanding of things, to realize more about myself and the world around me. But I have failed.
But I might just be seeing things in the wrong light.
In four months, I have had a child, directed a summer camp, moved to Wisconsin, and started an internship. It's been a little busy, to say the least. I have had different priorities. I have had some different goals and resolutions to make good on, things that far outweigh the importance of a blog that my mom and 4.5 other people read.
In the right light, giving up writing a blog for more time with my wife and son and other work commitments is actually a good thing. In the right light, I am doing better with what I've been given.
What light are you seeing your life in? Are you looking at trivial things and determining your worth? Are you investing your time into the wrong things? You have been given things to do as well. Maybe it's a family, a job, school, sports. You have priorities. Make the most important things most important, and then start blogging (or doing whatever trivial things you enjoy to do).
Thanks for putting up with a four month hiatus. Maybe there's something in your life that needs a four month hiatus as well...
