Hello Blog.
It’s been a while, I know, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been thinking about you. I think about you a lot. I just don’t seem to be able to find much time to spend with you. I write to you in my head. I keep an eye on you and those around you. But sometimes its hard to commit to you.
I’ve got family, you see. A husband. Kids. A house, a car, a pet, a garden, even a bit of a job. They all eat time. It’s not that I don’t want to spend time with you, it’s just that all the other stuff does keep getting in the way. Spending time with you can seem so… selfish.
But the more I neglect you, the harder it is to pick of the pieces of what we have together, the harder it is to justify finding the space for you. Right now I could be earning money, cleaning, sorting stuff for the kids, making the dinner.
I try to remind myself why we started all this in the first place. I still believe in the communication, the sense of involvement, the chance to express myself. The irony is that the more involved I am in things at school, the less I feel inclined to talk to you!
There’s got to be a way to make this work. Hang in there.

I’m so familiar with this problem. I absolutely love my blog to bits and don’t want to let it go but life sometimes gets in the way. And it’s like letter writing, isn’t it? The more often you write letters to someone, the more there is to say. (Or was – of course I never write letters these days.) I find myself writing blog posts in my head that just never make it to the page and when I find time to create that pagem, I can’t remember what to write. Oh well. Plod on!
Yes, familiar thoughts, but do please keep that intermittent contact!
