So, I thought I lost my blog. All NINE years of it. I felt devastated. Losing all those memories. I was late renewing my hosting and when I did renew, it just never came back. As in most things that are strictly just for me, I placed it on the backburner of things I needed to take care of. I contacted the hosting company on three occasions and was losing hope. But IT’S BACK! Finally! It’s been a couple of months.

I had been toying with the idea of just not blogging anymore and letting it go, and it took this incident for me to realize how much I actually enjoyed it and didn’t want to lose it. For a while I was thinking it was just a time-suck. I don’t have the readership I use to have years ago. Then on the other hand, I used to blog multiple times a week. I put a lot of effort and planning into it. It was a great outlet for me and again…it was something that was strictly just for me. My thoughts, my interests, things I wanted to share. For the past few years, I lost sight of that. I’ve been in a rut. A fitness rut, healthy eating rut, a writing rut. Quarantine/Covid has not helped at all, causing a mental rut. You can try fighting the tide, but sometimes it just takes you under.

I am ready to make a commitment to myself to start creating again. Writing and sharing the things I love; easy recipes, great books, funny antics, my favorite movies and shows. Setting your intentions in writing is a great way to kick-start the process of achieving. It’s not a chore or a time-suck, it’s a love… a hobby I enjoyed so much at one point. So I’m toasting to a new year. Year number TEN of this tiny bit of cyberspace that is all mine. Hope you all stick around.
