Love in the mist

A quick walk around the garden this morning provided me with today's Blip.

Been a very busy, productive day ticking jobs off the list before we are away at the weekend. This time baby sitting.

Although up again I did have to take to bed for a while with a nice hot wheat bag to help ease back pain. Perhaps a bit too busy. But, jobs done now.

I managed to start a new journal on the last day of hols. Not great timing I know. Had quite a few problems verifying the account but all sorted now.

The aim of the new journal? Well a few things. 

I have at times laid my sole bare, fibro, depression, grief being amongst others mentioned here. And, whilst I've grown ok with documenting "my life" it's ups and downs and the things I actually do. I wanted to try and re engage with photography. Be a bit more considered. Try and get better, rather than plateau or worse still get worse at the thing I once loved so much. 

I want to try and actively avoid saying how crap I feel or how bad my day has been. And just have the photo to think about. I know I could try that here but the old ways, the way this and in fact my last journal has grown might creep back and I want to try and break free of that.

Some who might read this are also to blame. Yes you! If you've been blipping for years and not missed a day, well I'm jealous of all those days I missed.

So, my aim (we will see how long its lasts) will be to blip each day without fail. I want to find that enthusiasm I once had.  I've already mentioned on my first blip entry that I may not reply to comments on the new journal. I acknowledge how tough that often is and I want to remove those trip wires that might stop me from achieving my goal.

Hopefully some may notice an increase in my activity visiting journals and commenting. I'll do my best to keep that up but life does drain me of energy on a fairly regular cycle so I can't say that will last. But for now life is ok and I'm glad I'm here.
