Failure to Blog

Obviously, I failed. I posted last on New Year's Day, promising to be more regular with my posts. It is now March 15, and I am finally getting around to posting something on this blog. Not that there's anything to say. I suppose that's why I'm not doing such a good job with keeping the resolution. I just have very little to say.

Now, there are a great many people who would scoff at that statement, especially since I can get very wordy with A WORD FOR TODAY and MIDWEEK OASIS, my two daily devotionals. I manage somehow to find hundreds, sometimes even thousands of words to say when I am writing those. After eight and a half years, I'm still constant and regular with those postings, all which have a Christian and Biblical subject matter.

However, when it comes to this blog, I don't seem to have much to say. I don't think I really want to write more faith stuff -- not that it is a bad thing, but because this blog was designed to be something the family does to keep our friends and family "in the know." As you can see, my family has not been any better about posting. They certainly have far more interesting lives than mine, but I suppose that's why they don't have the time. I guess for now you'll have to enjoy what they have posted about our vacation to Disney which was almost a year ago!

I don't mind that I do not have an exciting life. As a matter of fact, I've learned something recently. It is nice to have some freedom from the busy schedule. It is nice to have time to watch some television, read a book and take my time at the grocery store. I should clean my house. I should get on with some of my craft projects. I should do some more volunteer work. Perhaps I should even think about getting a job. However, I am enjoying the freedom I have with so little on my plate. I am also working on some writing that is not being posted on the Internet. Maybe this is my time to find that book or novel that I know is trying to get out. Perhaps soon I'll be posting the exciting news that you can pick up my book at your local Borders Store.

For now, I'm making the promise again. I am going to post more. Since I have so little to say; since there is so little excitement in my life, it may be little more than tedious rambling. It would be good to come, though, because I might come up with some brilliant thought or remarkable perspective. Probably not, but visit anyway.
