I was talking with my friend the other day when she so lovingly went with me to Detroit to check out a wedding venue for my daughter and her fiancé. She treated me to a wonderful early birthday brunch afterwards. Kimberly is younger than me and inspires me whenever I'm around her. She's truly amazing! As we were talking over coffee and then driving home, she was telling me that there are not enough hours in the day for her to get the things done that she wants to get done. She has set some major goals for herself. As much as I wanted to relate with what she was saying I couldn't.
I was telling her how frustrated I've been with myself and my problem with wasting time on my phone looking at social media. She asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks: What hole am I trying to fill and is it serving me? Is it helping or hurting me? Am I using it to escape or hide from something? Am I growing and learning new things that will benefit me as a person? The answer is a great big... NO.
I've been in a rut. What has changed? Not a lot really, but I haven't been blogging... At. All. Why not? Because I don't have anything to say. Because who really cares about my silly life? I'm just like everyone else, going through life one day at a time. What's so special about me? In five, ten, or fifteen years who will really be interested in anything I have to share?
My friend helped me realize I have a block, and I am determined to get past it. I am committing to get back in the habit of writing. I believe it will be good for me. The truth is that whether I like it or not, I am ten steps behind someone else. Perhaps they are older and wiser than me and may have experienced some stuff I haven't yet; and at the same time I am ten steps ahead of someone else as far as what I've been through. Hopefully I have some wisdom I can share. I have learned some big lessons in my 55 years (this Tuesday) and maybe if I am open, vulnerable and risk sharing some of them, I may just be able to help one person.
Get ready to find some blog posts here. My goal is to write at least one post per week. I have no idea what I will share. If I can't think of anything you may just see that I've written about how well I can clean an oven.
As always and hopefully with more Faith than ever,
Angie
