I’m Still Here

Posted by: beaner927 on: November 7, 2006

I’m writing just so people will know that I haven’t died. I guess I’m in a sort of ‘Blog Slump’. I’ve got plenty of things to say, but I just don’t feel like sharing them. I don’t know if it’s laziness or Satan’s way of getting me to keep things to myself. Maybe I just feel like I have too many complaints & don’t want to be a downer. Plus there’s the whole “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.” But in reality, things are actually pretty good. Must be the stupid weather. Yeah, I’ll go with that one.

OK – one thing I’ll bring up. Dwight & I had a really good talk yesterday, but it exposed a part of myself that I didn’t think (or want to think) lived in me. I guess I have this habit, when he has something interesting to share that I DON’T think is interesting, of saying stuff like “That’s just stupid.” and not wanting to hear anymore about it. He was telling me the other day about an online game where people make stuff online & then sell it for REAL money. While I still find this idea less than attractive, I guess I need to work on being more open-minded about things. It’s OK to have an opinion but not to make others feel badly about their opinions. APPARANTLY…..I also had similar things to say about BLOGS a few years back. Can you say “Open mouth & insert foot????” I guess I’m at a better place today because now that I’ve been made aware of this, I’ll be able to work on it – with God’s help of course!!!! Now if I can just keep my mouth shut all the way to the Polls today! ;)

I’m glad you’re still around, Beaner baby! I get what you’re saying about having things to say but not really wanting to go there… Deciding the purpose of my blog and exactly how much to share of Angie has been a constant internal conversation for me. But you’ve been an incredible example to me and help me strive to be more open. I’m just so glad we’re blog buddies!

I’m still here, too, just a little quieter. Maybe it’s contagious!
