To blog or not to blog, that is the question.....

So, I haven't been around for the past 4 months... well, I've been around, just not blogging. I used to love my blog - writing stories that I knew would make people laugh - and loved getting comments from friends and strangers - it was encouraging!

Here are some reasons I think that I'm blogging less than I used to:

1. Lack of Material - Since I've moved to a small central Texas town, my adventures are somewhat limited. I started blogging about books I read and movies I saw to fill my blog, but it was boring. So I stopped.


2. My job - Being a principal doesn't really allow me to say what I want all of the time, I have to worry about potential backlash. (Trust me, there are so many stories I WANT to tell, but CAN'T.) Sometimes I wish I had a different job so I could write more.


3. Time - This year, for whatever reason, my job was my life. It almost killed me. I'm hoping that year two will be a little more merciful on my time and energy and I'll feel like blogging more.


4. Lazy - When I'm not working, my ass is on the couch. I've been on some great trips and I've not blogged about any. I've gone to see some cute towns and NADA. So I'm going to try and work on that.


5. Loss of Blogging Buddies - I had a group of friends that I shared blogs with and we would talk about our writing. One passed away a little more than a year ago of cancer and another one hasn't posted in as long as me. I miss having that connection.

Will I continue to blog? I hope so. I love writing and I still have it on my bucket list to write a book. Blogging is just such a fun way to write and share information.

So what do you think? Should I blog or should I go?
