Break's over

May 4, 2008

I thought I might be obsessed with blogging and photography so I forced myself to take a break. I thought it would be possible to simply enjoy the beauty around me without processing it with my keyboard and and sharing it with my camera.

Couple things I've discovered. 1) Turns out I am obsessed. 2) Half of my joy in beauty is sharing it. So a break, although useful for getting a few household tasks accomplished, was downright painful.

I am past the point of no return so I've decided to simply give myself over to the daily pleasure of creative expression I've found in blogging. Not to mention the self indulgence of expressing opinions and advice no one's asked for.

So, assuming I can (I think I can, I think I can) maintain my responsibilities as a career home maker and home schooler. And still nurture my relationships as partner, mother, lover and friend; I will continue to feed my blogging addiction. Sharing daily or thereabouts snippets of family life, snapshots of everyday beauty, and my random thoughts.
