Blogging

I have surpassed the amount of posts I posted in all of 2011 with this addition to Hunter's Happenings.

Last year I always put blogging on my 'to do' list. Making it something that I should be doing, something that I felt bad about not doing. I realize now how having that sort of mindset on blogging caused me to do the opposite and not wish to blog at all. I started the majority of my posts with "Sorry for the absence of blogging!" and then went on to describe why I had not been faithful in posting. As if I was trying to catch up and make do. Hm.

Lately I have changed this mindset. I now turn to blogging when I feel an impulse to write or to capture a fun picture or exhilarating moment. An example would be, having a messy desk that was so beautifully comfortable for me (it is in a much less cluttered state now). Changing my mindset in this way has made it so that now I look forward to finding a moment to write on my blog. I've been organizing my thoughts into little journal entry packages I can either place in my print journal or on my online journal. Overall its a simple way of processing thoughts. But I find it quite rewarding.

If I could take more off my 'to do' list and instead bring a new mindset of enjoyment to what I have to accomplish, would I be happier doing whatever it is? Even just a small thought, "I am doing this math problem, which I now think is very silly, so that one day I can be a cashier at a flower shop just like I've always wanted." or "Being at the grocery store right now is teaching me that I will not always be where I want to be. Which is a lesson that's helpful to understand for a lot of reasons." :) Can you see it? Simple thought processes. Leading to a gratifying mindset.

Oh! and happy October to everyone! :)
