Hello, my faithful readers! It's good to see you all in blogland. After a two week hiatus, I am ready to begin writing again. It is a personal fault of mine to get extremely excited about a new thing, take blogging for example. First I talk about it, then I research it, then I do it with utter abadon, and then I feel satisfied that I have done a good job and so I quit. This is a real pattern in my life. Two years ago I decided to make Easter dresses for my daughters. I thought about it, talked about it, shopped for patterns online, went to Wal-Mart to check out fabric. I finally purchased fabric and a pattern. I cut the pieces and stitched the dresses. I hand embroided applicaes on the front of each dress. I stayed up half the night on Easter eve completed the dresses. They were fabulous. The girls looked adorable. Everyone at church raved about their cute dresses and then raved again when I confessed that I made them. I felt very satisfied with my work: a job well done. I haven't sewn anything since.
So, when my dear husband reminded me that I have not blogged in over two weeks, I had to evaluate my priorities. Would blogging be like so many of my interests? Would I stop blogging simply because I have learned how to do it? Would my sense of satisfaction at a blog well written cause me to stop posting? I think not. Blogging is on going accomplishment. A good blog is updated regularly and an excellent blog is updated daily. It is time to renew my commitment and interest and blog daily.

Welcome back! I wondered where you went (not that I have actually updated my own blog or anything...)
I am like that too about a lot of things. I have so many personal creative projects going (unfinished) that I can't actively participate in one without feeling guilty that I am neglecting the others... even though it's all just supposed to be for "fun" anyway.
BTW, I need to get your e-mail. Next time you see me, remind me that I said that...
I'm so glad you are back! I love reading your blog so keep up what you do so great. : ) How did your visit go with your mother-n-law? Thats cool that she got to come. Missing ya'll, A
