It's a little disheartening, I have to admit, to see very little traffic on this blog. I thought about not writing this week, but decided since I was searching for a topic anyway, maybe I'd cover my disappointment instead.
Of course, this is in no way meant to inspire guilt in anyone. Really, if you're reading it, that means you're helping to fix the issue, and I appreciate that. It's just kind of difficult to write all of this out for so much of the past 2 years or so, but not really see much interaction.
I think we all do things for which we don't receive much attention, like when you make the best pizza you've ever made, and things are so busy, all anyone can do is Hoover it up and run out the door to the next thing on their list. Or when you write a really amazing essay for a class, and you get a "not bad--80%" written on it. Maybe even when you work on a huge project for your job, but then you just get some tepid applause and no questions at the end of your presentation.
See? Mildly infuriating. Not bad enough to get angry at, but not good enough to be happy about, either.
So, that's kind of what I feel here. Originally I was hoping to have people occasionally ask questions that could get me writing on topics that might be of help to them. This hasn't happened much, if at all, and I'm not sure it ever will.
However, that doesn't mean I'll give up, either. I've found with this injury that I can make myself do just about anything, and have it work out. Even if it doesn't work out how I planned. these things usually improve my life to an extent. When I get to the end of the slog through all of the work it takes, I come out better for it.
Hence, I plan on continuing. Entries may not always be as awesome as I'd hoped, but they will still be interesting, maybe. They might not be as long as they may have been previously, but they will still exist.
If you're still reading, I thank you, and encourage you to keep reading. Maybe, if you can, think of one person to mention it to, and maybe they'll read it at some point as well.
I'm just going to keep on writing.
Oh Heather!!
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for this last blog entry! I met your parents at Wolfie’s Campground quite a few years ago. Erin was then in her prime.
We stayed in touch and when your brain exploded Fletcher Chapel Church kept you on our prayer list through all the ups and downs.
Awhile back I asked how things were going and Linda told me about your blog. I’ve been reading it ever since. But, I did not know if you welcomed comments or questions so refrained from posting. Now, I can go back to the beginning and question away. I also have a few folks in mind who I think would be most interested in this journey and will share the blog with them.
You’ve certainly given me lots to think about and I admit I check in often to see what’s new!
Keep blogging, please! It’s nice to have helpful information from one who knows!!
Thank you, Judy! And so sorry this reply was as long time coming. I'm planning to keep going, no worries on that. I have a lot to say, it seems.
