I know exactly what you mean. at times, I feel far more of a commitment to my readers than a true desire to write. That comes out in my writing, too. <br /><br />So, I'm writing when I choose and have found a way to still be happy about it. I love my blog. But, I know I've lost a few readers along the way because I'm not as consistent as I should be.<br /><br />But, that goes back to why I write - it's just for me. Because I like it. So, I keep writing whenever I can and try to ignore the number of hits. If I post about the same thing over and over, that's okay, because I'm writing about what makes me happy.<br /><br />Buona fortuna mentre ti trovi un modo a continuare...Some Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505309036549930580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-7162998548944057372011-01-30T04:50:05.947+01:002011-01-30T04:50:05.947+01:00Well, Linda, I am late to the party but I sure do ...Well, Linda, I am late to the party but I sure do hope that I can echo the sentiments of your friends.

I am so glad to see that you will still be joining in with Sunday Song when you can. If it weren't for you I would never have even contemplated posting a song each week-you inspired me and I hope that we can get even more people to join in with us this year!<br /><br />Well, February will be here soon so begone awful January Blues!<br /><br />Best wishes always,<br />Natasha.Natasha in Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975487981963489572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-43347947561087310322011-01-29T16:59:21.011+01:002011-01-29T16:59:21.011+01:00Thankyou so much everyone for your kind words of e...Thankyou so much everyone for your kind words of encouragement.

I think that we all have repeat elements in our lives, but I find myself thinking when I read about someone's birthday party or parade, "oh, I remember when they did that last year" and I marvel that we are still connected a year later. I'm not bored by it at all.

For what it's worth keep writing. During 2008-2010 I stopped blogging at Anglers Rest. Actually I stopped doing much at all due to a very poor work life balance. I stopped doing all the things I love doing. I leave my current job in Friday, but having made that decision I started doing the things I had stopped, reading, blogging and my family history. To me my blog is like a faithful old friend. There is something unusual about posting to a web world something that can be read by anyone yet at the same time feels private, I guess because we tend to blog alone but gather followers along the way. In someways the personal feels impersonal, if that makes sense. So don't feel that your blog needs to reflect just the exciting bits of your life, who are the readers to make the judgement of what is exciting? Loyal & faithful followers will read anyway. I hope I have recovered the general essence of what I posted and lost yesterday. I hope you keep blogging.

I doubt I would get bored to read about them again, though. I also enjoy reading your book reviews on your book blog. I have found that my blogging goes in cycles. Sometimes I blog more than others.

Seriously, if you have been writing your Blog for quite a while, I can understand that you want to get involved with other things. I post every day, and I find that it does take up a lot of time, especially the checking of my friends' blogs . I have met some very special people in the three months that I have been blogging, including yourself. Please go on with your posts, albeit not on such a regular basis.
