I'm feeling guilty. I was on a pretty good tear the last couple of weeks of getting back into the discipline of blogging more regularly. Then the past week hit & I dropped off once more. I've thought of blogging the last few days, but, honestly, didn't feel that I could. Made me reflect a little on the reasons why I go through blogging hiatus at times...

• Better Priorities - There are times in my life that blogging simply doesn't rank up there as one of the top priorities in my life. It might be that my mind is tapped from projects at work, or that I need/want extra time with Andrea or the kids - whatever the reason I sometimes take a break (even unknowingly) because my outlet here simple doesn't fit into the greater picture at that given time. I'm sure my writing, at least in some way, will assume a greater priority at some point in my life, but until my kids get bigger it's probably going to stay where it is.
• More to Say than I Can Write - I go through seasons, both short & long, where there are things of importance happening in my life that I am not at a point to share here. I'm a fairly transparent person, but sometimes there are things going on in my life that I'm not ready to share for one reason or another. When those times come I don't feel like typing about what seem like shallow, 'lesser' things when there are greater things in the background. Eventually most of these come to the light at the appropriate time. A good example was at the end of last year when we knew we were going to moving, but it wasn't public knowledge yet.
• Nothing to Say - It might be that I've tapped my creative juices elsewhere, or I'm simply brain-tired from having to give focus into other things. At times I'm absent because I don't have much to share - doesn't happen often, but it does from time to time :-)
