It's been a long hiatus from blogging for me, but I'm back. Here, I'll make some excuses:
1. I usually take the leap year off from blogging, and it just kind of got away from me.
2. I ended up suffering from a "persistent, intractable migraine" which had me cowering in a dark room for over 3 years, and even in the hospital for almost 1 year. I can now tell you what true misery is like.
Ok, so I only have 2 excuses, and only one of those is really a 'reasonable' one. Haha. Fine, I can accept that. But I'm back and should be back to blogging regularly shortly. I hoped I still have the talent to write like how I used to.
Today is my first day back at blogging after 3 years of hiatus with the busy schedule of my life. I was finding it a little hard to get my brain back into blogging mode. Some responded by suggesting I write a post on the daily rituals that I use to get my mind into gear.
I thought I’d take their suggestion and jot down a few notes – both as a way of getting my head back into blogging but also because looking at the tweets I received this morning it’s a problem many bloggers face.
As my head is a little scattered today (as I readjust) I’m going to tackle this readjusting mode as soon as possible.
It's been a while, since I last rant on this blog. I've thought of starting a new blog and discard this one, but I would love my readers to see how I've grown, not in size but in my way of thinking. Surprisingly people still do read my blog and send me text messages every now and then asking me to get my ass back to blogging but I've told them I was looking for the right moment and the right time to start again.
So is today the right moment?
I woke up this morning pondering these ideas I had, wondering if I could just decide to find more of it in all the activities before me as I climbed out of bed. I decided I could and would. I'd approach this blog like it was the first time I was doing it.
Theres a lot of updating, editing, throwing to be done to this blog and hoped I could get back on track just before New Year.
A lot of ups and downs happened lately and I want to start my pre-blog post on "Joy and Happiness".
My fascination with joy started slowly about two years ago when I began to get a little crazy in life. The fact that happiness is a state of being we can choose. Like centeredness, we can memorize what happiness feels like in the mind and body and go there on purpose.
True happiness connects us with what's meaningful in life. We learn to develop gratitude, awe and wonder, central characteristics of happy people.
We learn to notice what is good. Happiness isn't only something that happens to us. Happiness is a choice.
What are you happy about today? Nothing pops up?
Then try this: Just decide to be happy, then look for the reasons.
I've found my reason to be happy today, which is getting my ass back to blogging.
Let us all gives Eryn a welcome back pat on the back. She deserves it.
Short notes:
Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to start writing again and thanks to my faithful readers from all over the country. Love you guys bits and loads. Will come up with a topic to rant on as soon as possible.
Updates:
The blog skin is going to stink for a while as I am still in the process of editing and updating it. So this pre-loaded blog skin from Blogger will do for now. Thanks to the Blogger team for making it easy for me to get back on track.
