hmmm…..
I haven’t written my blog very
consistently for a while. Maybe you have
noticed … maybe not. It’s funny how
something that has become such a habit falls by the wayside so easily. I miss writing it every morning and was not
even sure why I had stopped. Was it just
laziness? Was the thrill of seeing my
writing in print and available for others to read gone? Was I just out of the habit?
It was probably a combination of all
three of these things, plus a little more thrown in. But if I look closer, there is usually an
underlying cause for a change in my habits.
It takes some self examination, but if I am intentional about it, I can
eventually find the culprit for the new variation to my routine.
In this case, it didn’t take all that
long. It began with an awareness that my
outlook was becoming more cynical and negative.
My point of view was deteriorating toward what was wrong with a person,
place or thing. It spilled over into my
writing. My blog was no longer hopeful,
creative, imaginative or winsome. For
me, at times, it almost felt sinister. Really.
But I got over it. Well … not completely, but I am working on
it. All it takes is catching myself in
the act of being negative and changing it as quickly as possible. Wish all my bad habits were that easily broken! I hope to get back on board with my daily
blog. I miss the creative energy that
comes in crafting thoughts into words. Writing
is a great way to start the day; and a positive attitude never hurts.
hmmm…..
