Retirement

Over the past 3 days I've been giving retiring my blogging life completely some thought. Stuff going on in my personal life is not lending itself to blogging (ie - don't want to get fired from another job because of it), I am starting to feel that the blogs are weighing me down, making me feel guilty, instead of inspiring me to keep on. I love reading other people's blogs, don't get me wrong, but I'm just not feeling that my blog is contributing anything to society. I've found myself content to keep a Word document on my computer that I can add to as a thought comes to me, using actual names and people and places from my life. No abbreviations or riddles. I've been getting spam comments, which is worse than none at all. I don't have enough time in the day to go to work, take care of my kids, and do my homework. My "weekend" was spent reading romance paperbacks for the first time in ages. And I feel like I'm living a slightly more private, secluded & safe life since the recent goings on haven't been published. Sort of like when I only had penpals via email. I think that blogging has taken a lot of that personal contact away - my friends who have blogs don't email, and neither do I if I know they're reading my blog.

Sooo, this may be my last post for a while. I'm keeping my blogs online for now, but I won't be adding to them very often.
