I admit it. I used blogging as therapy initially. There is a lot I have written on this blog that I never published. I had a lot going on when I first started this blog over two years ago and I think blogging was a first step for me in really becoming the person I want to be.
And life is pretty good now.
I've worked through a lot of stuff., brought people and things into my life that are good for me. I also cut out a lot of bad and I don't regret it.
For the first time in my life, I am feeling content.
And I feel a lot less inclined to share my feelings with the internet world.
I'm protective, of my husband, of my children, of my life.
And I'm going to tell the truth, I've been more than a little freaked out by an incident in which a crazy I know in real life used my blog against me. That was weird.
And there's more. I never got into the politics of blogging. Sometimes I read of the arguments between "popular" bloggers and honestly, it turns my stomach.
I've always thought that women could rule the world if we didn't focus so much of our energy on sabotaging each other. I hate playing girl games in real life, there is no way I'll do it online.
That's not to say I won't put my two pennies into a conversation. I just don't get all the meanness out there. And I don't have time for it anymore. I mean, if I wanted someone to be mean to me, I'd go back to my home town. Oh...wait...I'm going today. Yikes.
So I don't know. I don't know how much longer I will be blogging. It's just not my thing anymore.
Of course, every time I write something like this, it just prompts me to blog some more.

I'm super glad things are going well for you, and I understand the desire to blog less.
And this? -- "I've always thought that women could rule the world if we didn't focus so much of our energy on sabotaging each other." -- is brilliant. Yes.
I hope you know that blogging or not blogging, I wish you nothing but the best. Of everything. :)
<3 you,
Judy
I feel the same way.
I just haven't been as motivated to blog since we moved. I began blogging, I guess in part, due to the isolation I felt in the old odd neighborhood having virtually no friends.
But then I got some virtual friends and I felt better.
And now I live in a real nice neighborhood and have met friends through the kids school and I just don't have the time and sometimes I just want to close it all down.
But then I don't because I've met so many good friends it would feel like I was turning away from them and I don't want that. I like those relationships.
Maybe we've been doing it so long we're in a rut.
Hey you... I totally understand where you are. I'll keep blogging and hopefully we can chat over there. I'm so impressed with your increased exercise and commitment to health. I'm finally getting into the swing of things. I'm planning my first 5K in two months and I'm trying work out every day. You have helped inspire me!!!
Oh wow, that is just... well, it just does not sound fun at all.
Oops, meant to post that comment to your other post (the one with the guy on the airplane ;))
