So, I decided it was time I came out of my self-imposed hiatus, sabbatical or just plain ” ignoring the blogs” time period. I’ve been trying (though I can’t say successfully) to get things in some kind of order so I can actually accomplish something.
Have I ever mentioned I have teens? Yeah. I thought maybe I had. So, there’s this thing (and I’ve just coined a new term – you heard it here first) called “teenage brain breakdown interference” and that’s when essentially, the parent, who would be me, is running constant interference to keep said teens from totally derailing their lives. It is an exhausting sport, but I gain comfort from the many mothers and parents who have gone before me and that tell me that “this too shall pass”.
On top of the teens, I’m launching, yes, launching yet another blog. Ahem. It could turn out that I’m actually one of those visionary people who like to see a possibility, dream it, visualize it and even get it off the ground. Then? Off to something new and fresh again. Though in all honesty, I really would like to settle down to the posting and working part of it, but – did I mention I have teens?
Since I’ve moved my perimenopause posts (or at least my future ones) to The Perimenopause Blog, that leaves me with the task of what to post here. Unless I want to talk about “dating after age 50″ (oh, perish the thought) believe it or not, there is not a lot of topics for us over fifty gals to talk about. I’m not menopausal yet (waiting….waiting…..waiting) so that’s not a topic I can speak to with much authority yet.
I’m not a life coach type person nor am I interested to trying to become the new Oprah or anything. So, I think I will roll with this situation for a while and see how things play out.
It’s not that I don’t have anything to say. Trust me, ladies, I have more than enough to say. I just don’t know that it’s necessarily blog worthy or that others would be that interested. And truth be told, I am certainly blogging for myself to some degree, but I’m doing this for others too. I guess I see myself as trying to add some sort of value to the blogosphere, but as how to define that value at The Magnolia Diaries, well, it’s still evolving. But, that’s life and so, like I said, I’m going to roll with it.
I still have my other blog that I launched to devote specifically to writing. That is still an interest of mine and something I want very much to devote more time to it. But – did I mention I have teens?
Not too long ago though, when I was attempting to try my hand at html code (yeah, I know, impressive sounding, huh?) I managed to blow up two blogs. One of them was my writing blog. In my frustration, I’ve kind of let it just sit there until I can iron out a few other issues. I fully intend to return to it. One day.
So, once I get my other blogs launched (yet another one on perimenopause symptoms) I will link to it and you all can go over and check it out for me. Tell me what you think. Until then, I’ll be back in the very near future. I hope you all have a nice holiday season and I’ll see you soon.
