Blog hiatus!
I truly would enjoy blogging so often, I don't have to start off by commenting on how long it's been.
The last time I published a post was shortly before our adventure to Europe in April. I know, I really should have blogged about that trip. I want you to know that I had every intention. I wrote notes down the entire time. Each day I spent a few minutes doing so, so it would be easier for me to write about it, remember all the good parts. Who am I kidding? The entire time was a good part. And in the end, what do you know, I never did. The pressure was too much. Like Oragami, I folded. I folded under pressure.
Gosh, I love that one.
Hm, I suppose I still can. But will I? Probably not, I'll be honest. I should post about Europe, my Golden Birthday spent in Germany, our trip to Alaska. And you can bet I have a trillion pictures taken on all these occasions, that would be lovely to share as well. I need to get my shit together.
But right now, I'm going to live in the moment. Onward and upward! I'm not going to think about all the times I've neglected to blog.

Right now, I'm thinking, "Gosh, this feels so good."
To currently feel like publishing a post. To want to connect, to voice my feelings, to talk with you again. I’m going to do
it regularly. I’m going to become better about this, be consistent, make it a point. I always laugh at how similar blogging is to my
work out regimen or lack of. I get into it for like a month or two and then I eat cookies
or something or I get a cold and “see you again in two months, work out
life, it's been real!”
I don’t always stay in blog mode even though I know it makes me feel like a hundred bucks. Gosh, working out does too, why is it so hard for me to commit? I commit to all other things in life, my cats, cleaning all the time,
It comes down to neglecting to post my thoughts when they aren’t
anything but positive. That's why you don't hear from me. Perhaps that's why I stay away for awhile, I go on vacation, to cleanse my thoughts. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. What’s the point of venting, of complaining and being
negative and focusing on anything but the good in life, when, my goodness, that’s all
the world is up to lately! Negative this, negative that! Hillary Clinton this, Donald Trump that! Lets go fishing for the good, shall we? I just think
that if words shall be said to one another, or published on the internet, they shall be delightful, uplifting, or funny. Whose with me? Can I be your refuge? Can my blog be the place you come when you need to feel inspired, uplifted and happy? When you need a laugh?
I
do have to say, I may not make you laugh though. I used to be a lot funnier. I
used to make you laugh, I know I did. I look back on posts from the olden days and literally laugh out loud. My thoughts were so funny back then. I was funny! I won’t get into it. I won’t get into how old
my soul truly is now it gets worse as the years go on, imagine that or how I go to bed at 9pm on week nights. And it even used to be earlier! Like, I'm talking 8pm, people! I'm kind of a bad ass lately. I have the time change in Europe to thank for that one. Or maybe that's just in my head? This is me high fiving myself, either way.
Anyways, I just want
to be here, be present, put my phone down, focus more. Focus more on the good. I want to give my negative thoughts the bird, and tell them that they have no reason to be here. We can always be better about that. Changing our thoughts and making room only for the good, the positive, leaving no room for the negative to enter.
I commit to feeling good about here. Where ever here may be, in any given day. Here, there, everywhere.
Here is a feeling, a place, a state of mind. And I know that through all the negative, unfortunate things that are
going on in the world, or that happen even on a daily basis with anyone, everyone or perhaps no one, that we can get through it. It's in our mindset. I know that there are people, who do the best
that they can to constantly remind themselves to be better, kinder, more
accepting, more loving and just be a solid human, all around. I try and be that person. You be that person. Encourage yourself to be better. Encourage your tribe to be better. Remind your people to respond in a kind way, always, with a better tone, not so harshly. Understand that people don't always think the way you do, or do the way you do. I am constantly reminding myself of this in my relationship, especially, and it's something I can always improve on. We owe it to ourselves and the people in our lives
to be a solid human, to be kind, to be accepting, to not let differences get in the way of friendships, or how we empathize. Lets all be solid humans for each other. Because that's what we all need. Always.
