I have had this blog for TWO years. One year and 10 months to be exact--that actually sounds better to me. And during those 22 months, I have posted a blog 8 months out of the 22 for a total of 12 posts. That is not a very good percentage for success. So let's get to the bottom of why posting a new entry is so difficult and review the past blogs. (other than the previous entry of August 2016 on blogging)
Topics of previous posts: 1. Blogging (introduction to "Thinking Out Loud") 2015 2. Raymond--about one of my cats 3. Tasting Memories--one of my favorite posts about my childhood. 4. Live Like You Were Dying (9/15) Posted after a friend's loss of a loved one 5. Lifelong Friends (10/15) Girlfriends from elementary school and still great friends today. 6. Shopping for the Hard to Shop for (AKA: my husband) 12/15 title says it all. 7. Happy New year (1/2016) I'm sure this was to set off 2016 with lots of great posts. 8. #53 (my birthday) 9. The Cat Circus (3/16) If you have never been to a cat circus, this is a must read. 10. I am From (3/16) reflections on my life 11. Writing a Blog (8/16) (bitching) 12. Driving in Ireland (9/16) (travel bitching) 13. Blog Topics (6/2017) Seems like in August 2016, I was struggling with the same issues. It still rings true. The desire to entertain is huge for me. I think these entries should be entertaining to the readers...yes, I care about both of you. I remember reading the wonderful writings of Jason Mulgrew. His blog made me laugh out loud. I discovered Jason when he was voted one of People's Hottest Bachelors of 2005 (blogger category!) One read and I was hooked. I followed his career and purchased both of his books (highly recommend.) So trust me, I think of great topics to blog about and know they would be entertaining but by the time I get to a computer and remember to blog, my mind is blank. (note to self: write a blog post about forgetfulness) Even as I write this I also am reminded that I'm pretty certain no one is reading these posts so why does it matter? It matters because I like to reread these and I want to be entertained. So here you go Ronna---here is your commitment that I will strive to entertain you in the months to come....but don't expect too much.
