to blog or not to blog, that is the question

sweet-pea
i have been thinking about why i have a blog & if i should continue.
i thought it would be a good way to keep me motivated at making stuff.
and it has.
i thought it would be a good way to get feedback, but i am not so sure about that anymore.
time is so precious. i think about life & death everyday.
it may have something to do with working for hospice, but it may be me trying to sort out why i am here.
i think i am a seeker & a meaning maker. i want signs, i want messages, i want answers.
some people rely on religion, that has not worked for me.
i went to private Catholic school for twelve years. i have no savior.
time is all we have.
i must use it wisely.

i can't help but notice the tale of the yak bag.... i love that store...

i have been thinking similar thoughts of late.... i don't really have an answer - but what i have figured out is that i like the act of writing as a means to understand what i'm thinking. and i like the community that has emerged from the whole blog thing.

do what your heart and head combined tell you to do. you have the right answer - you just have to let it come to you. i will say that if you stop, you will be missed....

There are a lot of blogs out there, and yours is definitely one of the best. You only post when you have something to post, and it's always worth waiting for.

BTW, I have the answer, I'm just waiting for you to ask.

Don't go.

I'm down to keeping up with about 2 blogs. Yours is one of them.

Then what would I do?

But the choice is yours. We can't give you a reason.

you are making it sound like the decision has to do with you and your needs instead of your readers and our needs. what gives?

Hey! I have that same pillow doll thing -- the one in the picture accompanying this blog post.

It must be a sign. Don't stop blogging.
