Yup I started this idea on the last entry. Something needs to get me blogging again. It’s hard to believe that I got my undergrad degree in journalism because I love to write. Love to WRITE! And do I write? Very little these days. And it’s like pulling teeth. But once I get going, I remember why I liked it so much way back then. Usually it just flows and that’s that. So I’ll go with that for now.
Over the holidays I saw the movie Julie and Julia (loved it!). If you too are having trouble getting into the swing of writing again on a regular basis, watch that movie. I ended up getting it for Christmas too.
I’m still working my way through Gwen Bell’s challenging Blog Challenge for January. Well, it was for December, but I changed the rules on her!
I thought I would touch on the book that touched me most in 2009. I read a lot of books. Scratch that. I don’t read any books unless I’m forced fear of a failing grade! I listen to books. Lots of them, sometimes over and over again. This year the book I listened to over and over again (along with several other of her titles) was Byron Katie’s “Loving What Is”. Terrible title! But amazing book. Her central thought is that all suffering is caused by unquestioned thoughts. Question your thinking and suffering is gone. It’s radical, it’s weird. But it influenced the heck out of me.
So what am I learning about blogging by having these topics written out on a piece of paper? About having times and deadlines next to them? I wonder….
