wordy wednesday

I have a lot on my mind today. Lots of things swirling through this brain of mine: worries, anxieties, hopes, dreams, to-do lists, ideas, inspirations, regrets, questions. Questions like: Should I stop blogging? Should I give up photography as a hobby? Am I spending too much time online? How can I be more proactive in my parenting? Why do my children bicker so much?

I usually try to keep this little place of mine in cyber space fairly upbeat and positive. This is a place where I share the good stuff in life, the funny memories, the celebrations, the vacations, the ways I have found to live a more creative, joyful life. But lately, I have been feeling unmotivated, uninspired. I browsed back through my blog yesterday, and I was tempted to just delete the entire thing......drastic I know, and I'm glad I gave myself permission to sleep on that thought, but the nagging is still there today. There is still this feeling that my words aren't good enough, my photographs aren't good enough, it lacks a cohesive "theme"...........who's even reading this darn thing anyway :-)

So today, I am battling the negative self-talk. I am trying to keep it all in perspective, to remind myself that this little corner of the blog-o-sphere is a scrapbook of sorts: constantly changing, improving maybe, but most importantly, it is a place to document our memories, to express myself and maybe, just maybe to bring us all a little closer.
