blogging...something I seem not to be so good at

So, I started my blog as a way to log my journey from being urban-against-my-will to a rural-bliss-goddess. My last and only blog post was in August. The whole idea is that I'm supposed to post daily, or close to it. Yeah, not so good at that. And guess what? I haven't even had a full time job since I moved out here. Sigh.


Additionally, I was hoping to use this blog as a way to "have my voice be heard" even if nobody read it. Faulty logic, I know. But it makes sense to me some how. The thing is I actually have to write for this to be effective.  


And? I think I have been intimidating myself blog-wise by taking the whole thing too damn seriously. I'm just going to write and not worry about anything. 


So, I'm going to try again. Even though I have difficulty following one blog on a daily basis. After sleeping late to recover from a 16+ hour migraine I decided that the most fruitful way to spend my morning was to drink a really big mug of coffee and read all of the October posts of my favorite blog www.starkravingmadmommy.com. No, I'm not a mom, but she cracks me up. And even though we have different problems it really helps me to read about someone else's real problems. It's not a  schadenfreude thing. It's more a I-have-permission-to-be-human thing. Which apparently I feel the need for. 


I predict what will likely occur is that I will make several posts on one day and then go postless for days on end. I foresee this pattern repeating endlessly, but I'm going to accept it and give myself permission. Because it's part of being human, at least for me.
