The New Year is a time to start with a clean slate, a new journal to write in, an empty vase to fill, making new memories, and finding new joys in our lives.
I am grateful for the blessings of 2011. In January 2011 I was told my heart is in perfect condition, “the heart of a teenager” according to the cardiologist. I continued to work on making improvements in my life and experienced aha moments of those I accomplished.
Over the past year I have told most everyone I know that I blog, I share many, if not most, of my posts on Twitter and Facebook. On a rare occasion I send a special post out through email to family and friends so they get it directly and don’t miss seeing it on Twitter or Facebook. Some read it, some don’t; most of the comments and are from other bloggers.
There have been times I’ve considered not sharing my writings at all because I think no one really cares, or they don’t like what I write, or don’t like it enough to hit the Like button or leave a comment.
But then, out of the blue someone will write back and say how much something I wrote meant to them, and sometimes that it inspired or encouraged them. So, each time I write and post something online I am stepping out of my comfort zone, allowing myself to be vulnerable, and hoping that maybe one person will enjoy what I wrote, or be inspired or encouraged by it.
So this year I am going to continue my blog post and hope to improve as I go along. I am thinking of a special theme/subject to focus on this year. Will decide soon J
In the meantime, I got no sleep last night as I was away from home helping others as a volunteer. So I am very tired and cannot focus any more tonight
I always enjoy your posts Ann. Wishing you a wonderful year of writing. And, hopefully a good night’s sleep tonight 🙂
Thanks Mark 🙂 And I am getting really tired so I will be shutting down soon.
I could use about 10 hours sleep.
Keep writing Ann! As long as you want to. It’s good for the soul and the “heart of a teenager.” Hopefully you had a good night’s sleep and are ready to face a new year full of joy. That’s what I wish for you.
Thanks for the encouragement mairzeebp. I appreciate the feedback.
Often times inspiration gets the better of me so I write and post 🙂
“…I am going to continue my blog post…”
I’m very glad for this decision 🙂
You are so kind Laurie 🙂 I wish you a fabulous New Year with endless blessings.
Remember Ann, your writing is for you. If others like it too, it’s a bonus.
The writing is for me because I enjoy it, at the same time if anything I write brings something good to others then that is a blessing.
