My blogging journey started last June 21, 2011. I made a promise to myself that I would write a post a day for one year. Two days ago I missed that target because it was Easter Monday and we decided to spend a family day together, so I took a rest day from my blog.
When I started this blog I would write my posts early in the morning, but lately my kids have been wanting my attention in the morning hours. The blogging I would do in the afternoons has also been interrupted by Rocco, my 2-year-old who has decided to stop his naps.
Evenings have now become my time to jot down a few ideas for blog posts. I will still try to do a blog a day, but if I miss my personal deadline I will not stress out about it.
Recently, I was asked why I blog and what I would do after the year was over. Would I continue blogging or move on to another chapter of my life?
I blog because it is fun and I love to write and tell stories. My one year of blogging is coming up on June 21, 2012. Only time will tell if I continue my blogging journey or if I find another outlet of creativity.
Michael, my husband, is my biggest fan. He keeps on encouraging me to keep the positive blogging going as I have been able to touch his life and some readers lives along the way.
Thank you for letting me share and have a great day!
I hope you continue because the world needs more possitive affirmation, and that’s just one good thing I can say out of the other numerous reasons I can list! Keep up the good work!
Hi Christine! Thank you for the encouragement. I enjoy writing so I know I will continue after the year, but maybe not as often.
Cheers,
Louise
I agree. I hope you do continue blogging way past your first year mark, as long as, of course, you continue enjoying doing so. The stories you share are a ray of daily sunshine!
Thank you!! 
Inez, thank you so much! I have fun writing them. I will continue, but maybe not daily.
Cheers,
Louise
Don’t even think of stopping! How would we hear about your trip to Italy? How would we find out how Massimo and Rocco are doing? Every day is hard, I so agree. But maybe transition to once a week or so.
Angeline, thank you for caring! I am really going to keep it going, but not on a daily basis. My husband said he would be sad if I stopped all together. I will too!
Italy is going to be fun. You were right that the planning is half the fun!
Cheers,
Louise
Write when you can. Your priorities are correct~the family time was the most important. Know that we delight in your posts whenever you put them up!
Kate, thank you for your kinds words! I also enjoy your posts. You are amazing at putting them up so consistently!
Cheers,
Louise
Blogging daily is quite a commitment. When your year is up, let it flow naturally.
Hi Lisha! It was easy to do a daily blog until recently. You know how it goes, the “real world” needs more of my attention.
I do enjoy it though and will let it go organically.
Cheers,
Louise
