Yesterday I commented on the death of Met Home magazine. However, I had intended that post to be about something different.
For a few weeks now, I've been writing -- in my head -- the obituary of this blog. Before yesterday, it had been weeks since I had blogged.
Work is busier than it has been in years. I've joined two boards and am working on another new endeavor that I can't write about. The blog has taken a back seat to all of this. I just haven't had the energy to write.
But reading about Met Home yesterday caused me to write. As my fingers moved across the keyboard, I made a decision not to shut this down.
I'm not deriving income from this site, so does it really matter if I write regularly? If anyone reads it? I know there are a few of you out there, but when I look at the Site Meter stats, I see most of the visitors are coming from Googles image search engine. So in actuality, there aren't many people reading.
I could change that -- and likely will -- by linking this site to my Facebook page. But I need to segregate my friends list so that people I know from work don't see postings to this site.
This blog still means something to me. Part of me has been saying, "something's gotta give. It's ok to end the blog. No one said you have to do it forever."
Yet another part of me still likes it. So, if you're still reading, stick with me. I'll write as I have the creative energy to do so. Plus, I think I can come up with some funny posts once we start production on the TV show.
Stay faithful to your quote "So long as you write what you wish to write, that is all that matters; and whether it matters for years or only hours, nobody can say." and we all understand.

I've been in the same place for a while now. I think you have the right idea. Besides, my closest friends who have shut down blogs have really missed them. At least I know mine will still be there, readers or no, when I need it.
