Those of you who have subscribed to this blog, or even those of you who stop in here and there were probably wondering why I stopped writing or posting or sharing my mama notes here or on social media over the past few months…
…and then one day all these posts and notes from the past few months showed up on my blog. What happened?
Honestly, these past few months have been kind of rough (if you read the updated entries you can read more about it,) so I didn’t really feel like sharing much during that time–and quite literally I just didn’t have the energy to. I did write in my journal here and there though–some notes and stories that I wanted to remember, and even just as a way to express how I was feeling.
When I started to feel better I wondered if I should share some of these more personal, vulnerable moments–as they definitely weren’t my favorite ones.
I did ultimately share them. I shared them because they were real and probably relatable to moments we all have at times. And I think it’s good to be real. They were shaping moments, not shining moments, and that’s ok. They are important too.
So for those of you who subscribe to my blog and get email notifications when I post something, sorry for all those emails a few weeks ago! I guess now you know why… 🙂
And thank you all for your support–of my family, my blog, my notes. Sometimes I just feel funny about sharing these moments, these mama notes or pictures or whatever on social media. I wonder what good it does to let people in on these little pieces of our lives. I really don’t like drawing attention. But I’m going to keep writing and sharing because I do think there is still good in it. It’s a nice way for my family to look back on it too.
Anyway, thanks for reading all these wandering words!
