The Monkey Barrel

A ton of my friends recently have joined the world of professional blogging. There are innumerable themes and subject matter to encompass and channel their creativity and they write up to 3 times a week. I was beginning to get inspired and then came face to face with my procrastinatory self who said, “3 times a week?? Ambitious are we? And what subject shall you choose o’ audacious blog creator? Can’t pick one can you??” So I turned away from the mirror a bit dejected and tried to push the matter under the carpet. Trouble is, all my friends are bloggin along and creating quite their own following for their little niche in the writing world. And I’m pea green with envy.
I have too many hobbies and interests to choose just one to run with. I know too many people and am involved in too many activities to pick just one to create a subject line. So what on earth would my professional blog look like?? I can’t even think of a title to encompass it all. Or wait, perhaps I can. A little over a year ago I started a blog to purge out my soul. It’s an invitation only kind of place as I can only trust what’s there to a special few who know me well and I feel I can be vulnerable with and safe in it. But the title of that blog just sums up my life. I think I am going to and clean it out and create a little place for myself to try a little professional journaling with an underlying theme to be a catch all for me. I may even have days specifically set aside for one subject matter.
As for this blog, I will try to keep it to family matters. Funny things those crazy kids of mine do and the moments that being their mom fills me with wonder and awe.
We’ll see. But knowing me, I may procrastinate, and it could be next month before I get it up and running or next year before I remember I even wrote this blog about it. And sheesh, two blogs to keep up with may just fry me all together. Who knows.
