I think Joseph Campbell said (and I’m paraphrasing here)
that in order to find out what really drives you, what really interests you,
you should closely monitor what grabs your attention, where your interests
naturally take you over a few weeks. And when you realize that (for example)
you can’t stop thinking about basket weaving and deep-sea diving, that is what
you should pursue.
That’s what I’m working on here, since my blog has been
really unfocused over the past year or so. I’m not trying to be mysterious; I’m just in
the midst of a process I don’t want to bore you with.
In the meantime, I’ll try and post a bit more here as well
so I can get in the writing practice and keep anyone who is still reading (hello?)
up to date on my little corner of the world. Thanks for reading and for being patient with my evolution.
P.S. Also, rereading this post before I publish: I will try and reduce my use of parentheses.

Yay for you! I understand... I went through that just starting my blog and it's too young to have experienced much so far.
My criteria came down to the things that inspire me creatively, make me laugh or brings me joy. If I'm not feeling the love then it doesn't go up. I try to post once a week come hell or high water (both of which are entirely possible) even if it's just a photograph that I want to share.
Let us know what you decide!!!
Bridget: I have to tell you, I really enjoy your blog, even if I don't ever comment. (I am a horrible person, one of those people who lurks and lurks and rarely comments.) I do like seeing little slices of your life and the observations you come up with.
Wow, I'm in the same box, "What do I really want to do when I grow up, or in my case, when I'm older than I expected to ever be." Love the Campbell quote. I will take it to heart and let you know.
Love, Karen
