A few pictures from the last few months.....

Wow, it certainly has been awhile since I have been here. To be honest I started feeling like blogging was a chore instead of something I do for fun. I started feeling a knot in my stomach every time I didn't post for a few days. So I took a bit of a break. So I am now going to "Blog without Obligation"

• Because you shouldn't have to look at your blog like it is a treadmill.



• Because its okay to just say what you have to say. If that makes for a long post, fine. Short post, fine. Frequent post, fine. Infrequent post, fine.



• Because its okay to not always be enthralled with the sound of your own typing.



• Because sometimes less is more.



• Because only blogging when you feel truly inspired keeps up the integrity of your blog.



• Because they are probably not going to inscribe your stat, link and comment numbers on your tombstone.



• Because for most of us blogging is just a hobby. A way to express yourself and connect with others. You should not have to apologize for lapses in posts. Just take a step back and enjoy life, not everything you do has to be "bloggable".



• Because if you blog without obligation you will naturally keep your blog around longer, because it won't be a chore. Plus, just think you will be doing your part to eradicate post pollution. One post at a time. .
