I’ve never really liked making lists, preferring to let the ideas or things to do just swirl around in my head, drifting like a petal in a slow flowing stream, occasionally taken where it needs to go but often floating away, not to be seen or thought of again.

Yet this time I am going to make one, because I am good at making lists of excuses for not doing or being or saying …

This blog of mine has almost died a natural death from lack of content and shame of sharing, but I want to give it a final attempt.

Here is my list of excuses for not writing on my blog since last October :

• Not being read so what’s the point (in my feeling sorry for myself mode)
• Laziness
• Got out of my routine
• Family commitments
• Started swimming lessons
• Started harp lessons
• Got into too many Netflix series
• Joined a writing group and got bogged down by their content and ignored mine
• Comparison leading to giving up
• Eating priorities,  including my nails
• Lots of group meetings for prayer
• Lingering over social media
• Occasional godson school runs
• Resting too much
• Thinking, over-thinking, thinking again
• There are others but the petals have floated away.

 

Please give it another go!
