One of my relatives has a very interesting blog. Granted, I didn't read it all of the time, but when I did I always found it worth my time. One day, I found that the blog hadn't been updated for some time. I figured that he would add a blog sooner or later, but each time I checked back there was no blog.
Some time later, after months of no blogs, I asked him why he stopped writing.
It was all the same, he replied. He stopped writing his blog because he felt that he was writing the same things each time. Each day he went out and found new things and wrote about them. The problem is, he didn't feel that one day's things were much different than another's.
While I was polite and didn't tell him this, I really feel that it is up to you to make your life different - it doesn't just happen. In other words, if he wants his life to be different each day, it is up to him to make that happen.
In one sense, I think that is one of the great things about blogging. It pushes me to mix things up a little and learn new things for future blogs. It also pushes me to look at details of my life in a different light and better understand the way things are.
So if you are bummed that each day seems a bit too close to the previous one, remember that it's always within your power to change that.
Hi Nelya,
I love your input about keeping life fresh and exciting. We all have the power to make changes in our lives if it has become "stale" and change can give us renewed energy and motivation. Sometimes that change is nothing more than how we perceive events around us. Other times it requires more concrete actions.
BTW, hope you are doing OK with all that flooding I'm readying about.
Aloha
