First of all I just wanted to say I have been trying to get into a "Blogger" routine and after a few days I can tell morning is not it. Sometimes it is but not always. I like to read other blogs in the morning and answer any comments we have been lucky enough to find on ours. I have also been trying to keep up with a daily blog because I want to be one of those bloggers but I am facing the fact that is not me either. I enjoy blogging but the key word here is enjoy so I am going to go back to what was my routine which is no routine at all. My whole life I have been a "fly by the seat of my pants" person so I am not sure why I thought now was a good time to change. (Not to say when I worked I was ever late because I was not, not to say my children were late for stuff because they were not, not to say if I say I will be somewhere at a certain time I will not be because I will, and if I make a promise I have and always will keep it.) Honestly, I have just always hated schedules so now at a time in my life, when as Tom just reminded my we do not need any schedules, why I thought putting myself on one was a good idea, I have no answer.
I hope if you read our blog you will still come back and see how we are doing even if it does not change every day. Plus, there is a promise of better pictures. I have a lovely new camera and today is the day I get it out. (Just between you, me, and as my Dad would say the fence post I am hoping to impose on the neighbors across the way for help getting started.) I did purchase the "For Dummies" book for my camera, I love that they put those out, but I think, actually I know, I will need more help then that.
Right now in this minute we are parked in a beautiful place near wonderful neighbors and as I sit here typing this I am looking out the window at a beautiful blue sky wondering what am I doing sitting and looking it is time to get out there and enjoy this beautiful day. Tom joins me in wishing each of you a great day well lived.
Thank you for stopping by and if you have time to leave a comment,
as always, we would enjoy hearing from you.
Blogging is whatever you make it, we enjoy your postings whenever you get a Round To-it. Enjoy your new camera.
ReplyDeleteThank you and I am enjoying the camera.
DeleteIt doesn't matter what schedule you keep with your blog. Just go with the flow. Don't let it become a job! Sometimes I post nearly every day and sometimes it might be a week or two between them.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree I want to just enjoy the process. I found your blog by the way great photos. Really liked the one of the Quail.
DeleteLike everyone has said you have to enjoy doing it or if it becomes too much of a chore then you will stop. Like Tom says "No Schedules", that's what retirements about.
ReplyDeleteHave "Fun" with the new camera.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
I am thinking I just needed a reminder to enjoy the process. Thank you for your input.
DeleteThe decision is yours and no one else's and you should not feel pressured to do anything that isn't 'you'. Especially at this stage of our lives! I love reading your posts and viewing your pictures (even your new ones!) whenever you feel like posting. Enjoy it rather than pushing yourself to do it. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reminder...:) I sometimes forget that we are finally at that stage when we can sit back, relax and just enjoy.
DeleteDeb I am exactly the way you are about blogging. I love doing it, but as I'm sure you've seen I am not regular. I don't like to go more than 2 days, just because I forget what we've done or haven't done. I'm all over the place as to when I do my posting too. So just go with how you feel and believe me your faithful readers will just be happy to read you whenever you want to write! Can't wait to see your new camera and pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shirley. I really can relate to the 2 day thing. I have been known to make notes of the pictures I take in the morning especially when we are traveling...:)
DeleteIf you write it we will come to read it. If not, it wasn't meant to be. I think it's the content, the 'personal part of your person' (if you know what I mean) that draws people to your blog. Not the number of posts you write. Enjoy is the key word!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deb. I have to agree with what you wrote because that is why I read the blogs I do.
DeleteYou are right to do it your way. Blog when it feels right, not because you feel pressured.
ReplyDeleteI only do it to keep my family abreast of what I'm doing and what I'm experiencing. That's my pressure to blog.
Enjoy that new camera.
I am enjoying the new camera and trying to have patience with the learning process.
DeleteI am sure your family enjoys knowing what you and Yuma are up to and that is a good reason to blog as often as you do.
