I'm an ego-maniac, I can admit. Always have been. I wanna be the best, the highest, the most. If there's a scoreboard somewhere, my goal is to see my name at the top of it for everyone to admire... or even be a bit jealous of. Sorry, but that's the truth. (There's something liberating about hitting 40 that gives you the freedom to unashamedly be yourself!).
So, when I broke into the Top 20 of AR's most subscribed bloggers, I took it very seriously. I watched my name climb up the ranks until I hit #12. SO CLOSE to the top ten!!! Being in that Top Ten became a bit of an obsession for me. I blogged every single day (occasionally resting on Sunday). Writing, posting and decorating my blogs, then thoughtfully responding to comments took up several hours each morning, and throughout the day. When I posted a particularly juicy blog, I could hardly pull myself away from the computer watching the comments roll in.
Then... I slipped from #12 to #13. THUD. All that work and effort gone to waste! How DARE Rich Jacobson thwart my goal of hitting the Top Ten!!!
But, turns out it was a blessing in disguise. I lost my blogging momentum and Stepped Away From the Computer. And... got back to work selling real estate.
I've barely blogged for two weeks. I just don't feel like it. I don't have all that much to say and frankly, I don't have the time. Instead of sitting unshowered at my keyboard all morning with a cup of coffee, I'm dressed and out the door by 9am. I'm putting and keeping sales together. I'm doing speaking engagements. I'm SOI'ing. I'm WORKING!
So, while I'm sure my blogging habit will return someday, for now, I'm happy just reading y'all's. However, I do need to keep an eye on Jeff Belonger who is right on my tail at #14...
