Blogger's block?

I've had this blog for all of 2 weeks, and already I've hit a rough patch.  I've been working on several posts simultaneously for the past week, and nothing seems to stick.  Or to make total sense.  Or to be post-worthy.  With book-reading, I like to say that I have reader's ADD.  I'm currently reading about 8 books.  I start them, read a couple of chapters, and then can't keep up the steam.  I get bored.  And then I pick up another book in the hopes that I'll be interested enough/disciplined enough to read through to the end.  Yikes.  Perhaps I need to select better reading material. 

I really hope I don't develop blogger's ADD. 

My husband recently asked me why I started this blog.  He asked what was my goal, intention, or purpose that I had in mind.  Well, mostly, I think I just wanted a place to log my thoughts.  To get the constant, swirling, commentary out of my brain and onto "paper."  And also, to connect with others.  It is a driving force in who I am and what I do, and a blog seemed like it could be a natural extension of me - a great platform to connect.  I also feel that I express myself better through writing than I do my spoken word.  My brain tends to jumble things up in the moment, and I'm not always sure I say the things I mean to say, or that I say them well.   Unlike many bloggers, and needless to say, I don't write professionally (although in grad school it sure felt like I did).  So it's also fun to try my hand and heart at it, and it's so wonderful to get feedback along the way.   I actually know very little about blogging - I think I followed two blogs with any remote regularity at all prior to starting my own.

In addition to these things, I love the idea that I am creating a record of my thoughts, feelings, and experiences, so that one day my daughter can read them and perhaps know more about her mom.  About my inner world and how I feel about life, love, struggle, and most importantly - how I feel about her, and how she has changed my life.  And all the things I will likely forget to say. 

So, I'm writing this post.  Because I told myself I needed to.  And I'm going to post it tonight, as a practice in completion and acceptance of imperfection.

All things considered, I'm so humbled that you took the time to read.  And, I'd really like to continue my journey as a blogger.  

Wish me luck.
