I've thought about what to write next pretty hard and I even hesitate to actually post something two days in a row. I'm afraid I might be pressing my luck and even worse building up my readers' expectation. Quick side note: That last statement sounds pretty optimistic. "My readers"... I'm not even sure if I have one. And while I'm on the subject, it seems to me that the whole concept of a blog is a little self centered. This statement is definitely not meant to apply to all blogs. I get the appeal of those that are on a particular subject or a specific hobby. But even with all of my optimism I have a hard time believing that some random person would want to read a blog just about my life. So that leaves us with the question:
What should be the focus of this blog?
I did consider possible subjects before jumping out into cyberspace with a blog again, but I really couldn't decide on just one thing. So many interests come to mind... I love to watch movies and I thought about making this a movie review page. I'm a knitter. Perhaps this blog could become another of the many forums for exploring that craft. Of course I can't forget my passion for green/sustainable living practices, but I'm not sure I know enough about that to make this blog interesting. And that's the ultimate goal of blogging right!? First, to create a web page that people want to visit again. And second, if most bloggers are honest, to find some self worth in the popularity of their site.
For now I think I'll let the subject of this collection of posts remain a mystery. At least in the philosophical realm I won't have the excuse of not having anything to write or share? Theoretically if the focus is the mystery of who I am, how I feel, and what I do then the possibilities are limitless. So I guess I'm back where I started and have decided to let this blog become one of the other billion that's just about me.
