Laura Howard: There and Back

There and Back

I made my last blog post nearly one year ago. I found that blogging, at that time and place in my life, wasn't working for me. I 've been thinking about why I quit lately. The conclusion I've come up with is that, as usual, I bit off more than I could chew. I sometimes tend to have the "all or nothing" attitude, which could also be called perfectionism. That's not to say I think I'm perfect- far from it. The older I get I recognize this tendency more and more. At this point, I'd like to give blogging another go. But I will only do so when it feels right, not because I "have to".

  1. I think that's the way to do it! There's no point in doing something that is too much or overwhelming. But if you enjoy it, go for it and have fun!

  2. Thanks Jemi! It feels like a huge nagging weight has been lifted off my shoulders! Self-imposed torture is so pointless, isn't it?
