Hello again
November 15, 2011Hello, I am here again. I found that when I started blogging, I was writing for my readers. I hoped to become one of those ultra popular bloggers that people can’t go half a day without reading my witty thoughts. Alas, I never made it beyond a few dedicated friends as readers, and I am absolutely ok with that.
Friends don’t mind if you just blather on about whatever is inside your head. If I had dedicated readers, I would feel so much pressure to blog. Right now, I am blogging for me, to get my thoughts out of me.
I feel that there is a change brewing within me. I know that sometimes a traumatic event can bring about the winds of change, and I definitely do not have the corner market on trauma. I just find that something deep within my soul is different. I haven’t figured out what that is yet, but somehow I think it will be for the better. I hope it will be for the better.
Yesterday I read a post by Karen that I found so thought provoking. Normally I would have tried to just tell her it was beautiful in her comments section, but this time it resonated so deeply within me. I have found myself going back just to read the poem within the post again and again. Her whole overall message is that “this is the day your life will surely change…” I feel it, change. Something is coming… I also feel like breaking into a song from “Wicked” For Good Story of my life right now, I am changed, for good. There is no going back, so I am jumping in with both feet. Thanks for sticking around to read my ramblings, but this time I am writing for me, and that is good. I think.
April’s a hottie!!!!
Change, whatever form it may take, ain’t gonna’ alter that fact. 
Love you!
I’m so glad that what I wrote resonated with you (even though I don’t feel I did anything special — but that doesn’t matter, because it’s your reaction that counts).
For the record, the lines are from an 80s song by a group called The The. (See the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phWv7l8Lm_A)
There is a DJ on satellite radio who uses the song’s refrain “This is the day” as the name of his show. The song is very gentle and easy to listen to. My post gave my husband an ear worm, but he said he didn’t mind because it was not annoying to hear that song in his head for a while. The video holds up pretty well, too.
I’m in a very similar boat about blogging – and life. I’m going to listen to For Good now over and over to give me some clarity. I’m glad there are some real bloggers out there who don’t do it for money or power, but for connecting with themselves and others. You’re a rare one, and I appreciate you
i can dig it. that’s what brought me back, i think. to just get it out of my head, because sometimes, i don’t even know where i am until it’s poured out.
change.
embrace it.
Welcome back, April – I’ve missed you
Change, while painful can be and feel so good. Hugs 
I’m glad you’re blogging again! I love reading what you say. I love hearing from you
I’ve been slacker lately on my blog. I don’t want to put out there what i’m feeling…at least, not in this raw state so I don’t want to talk about it. But I’d also feel dumb posting like nothing major has just happened. I dunno…you probably know what I mean. :/
I know EXACTLY what you mean. I find that I blog about everything BUT what I am feeling about this whole thing, except for my latest post “Someone” that is.
