Programming Notice

To all my regularly scheduled viewers, otherwise known as those who occasionally drop by to see if by the grace of God I've actually posted something, I have a programming notice.  As of, well, today, I'm taking a permanent hiatus from blogging.  You're probably thinking, "But she never posts anything anyways".  Right you are, but I constantly beat myself up for not updating my blog, and I'm putting an end to the abuse. 

If I'm being truly honest to myself, I must admit that I started this blog simply because 'that's what everyone else was doing'.  I've come to a point in my life where I realize there will always be people who do more than you, and then there will always be people who do less than you.  I fall somewhere in between and I'm learning to accept and be happy with that.

I had hoped this blog would be an outlet for me to write, which it was.  But due to a lack of ideas and  probably more so a lack of motivation, there was nothing to keep this blogging-machine alive.  And in the end, it wasn't the outlet I was expecting or had hoped for.  Don't you worry though, even if I wasn't blogging about it, I've still been trying new recipes, making Pinterest-inspired creations, and doing lots of house improvements.  My creativity may not live on the Internet, but it is still there. 

The other factor is my job. Shocking, I know. I used to have more free time at work to write and mess with pictures, but due to lots of internal changes, this just isn't a possibility anymore. Plus, the little time I do get, well essentially, I would rather spend doing other things. And my excuse for evenings at home?  Simple answer.  I sit and stare at a computer all day long.  The last thing I want to do when I get home is spend more time in front of a computer screen. This is just how I feel. Everyone is different.

So there you have it.  No good reason for starting and no real good reason for quitting. In fact, writing this here post is more for closure to myself than an explanation to any of you. Bottom line, I started this blog completely unsure of my dedication level and just never found my stride.

To those of you still blogging....keep it up.  Your writing, photography, home projects, crafts, recipes, and life stories are a real inspiration for me.  Although my time as a blogger was brief and frankly wasn't my calling, I'm still a loyal follower to many blogs and will continue to be.

Thanks to all of you who followed me on this short-lived journey. Who knows, maybe someday the blog itch will strike again and I'll be back.  If and when that potentially happens, I'll for sure let you know. Until then, much love from the Ledbetters!
