The Third Times a Charm

I should have been exercising to the new exercise DVD I bought.

But, I'm not.

Instead, I've spent the last 2 hours reading back over my past blog entries. I cried a little, laughed a little and realized just how bad my memory really has become (I had forgotten about many of the things that I had written about).

This weekend I went to Time Out For Women in Orlando. It was such an amazing, testimony building experience for me. (As an aside, if any of you ever have an opportunity to attend one, I highly recommend it...Soooo good). But that is not the reason for this post, and perhaps I will post about that, but I really need to have time to get my thoughts in order.

However, during that trip, I made a comment that I wished my life could be full of more spiritually uplifting stories, like those of the presenters.

I said that I never have them.

But guess what?? I was wrong.

As I looked back at my blog entries, I realized that my life has been full of spiritual experiences, and that I have probably have had a lot more, but I have neglected writing them down, so they have been forgotten.

How sad.

Is it vain or prideful to say that I LOVED reading back at my post? Not only did I have fun remembering the events I read about, it reminded me of a few things:
1)the more I wrote, those many months ago, that it became easier to do so. I'm afraid not, it is going to be a difficult task to get back into like trudging through snow that is no longer powdery, but slushy and stiff.
2)not only did it become easier, but I could see how my writing became better as well. I am afraid that my grammar has fallen behind again, and ideas don't flow as easy either.

Then, I got sad. Why have I let the blog world go by the wayside? Laziness? To some degree. Facebooking....yes, that is it.

My family has been begging me to get back into blogging, as well as a few friends. That's really what led me back here, to my old friend. Yes, blogging is my friend. I use to come here to relieve stress. Really, I did.

So here I am. Reading and now typing...

and, I've realized, after reading back, that I have been holding myself back. That perhaps writing is a talent I may have, but how can I know, or develop it for that matter, if I never do it.
So, I am committing myself to try to write at least weekly.

I don't think anyone is reading anymore, and that doesn't matter. So it's truly just for me and my posterity. This is the third time I've committed to getting back into blogging...I'm really hoping the third time is a charm! I guess we (or I) will see.
