I was looking through some of my favorite blogs today and came across this gem of wisdom from my friend, Lindsey:
My last post was written two weeks ago.
Though it was unintentional, I guess you could say that I was taking a sabbatical from my blog…a blog-atical, if you will.
I don’t really know how it happened, but it did. In fact, there were quite a few things that happened during my absence that I could have blogged about. But, I didn’t blog. And, it was in that not blogging that I realized something about myself.
I’m a creature of habit, but get me out of my routine and it’s almost as if I never had the habit to begin with. This is true in so many areas of my life.
Eating. Exercising. Journaling. Reading. Calling friends. Spending time with the Lord. And now, blogging.
I’ve known that for a long time…but the aha came in understanding why.
I struggle to forgive myself for getting out of the routine. Instead of just saying, oh well…I missed it…I end up getting so frustrated with myself for getting off track. Then, before I know it, I look back and I’m not just off track, I’m on a whole new road. It can take me days, weeks, months to get back into the swing of things. It’s not a good rut to get stuck in.
That is SOO me…
So I apologize about not blogging, but sometimes it’s good to do things when you can and not worry about it when you can’t. Give yourself a little grace, you know?

And, also, today I am thankful for sunny Fall days. They remind me of football, barbecues, waiting on the bus for school, Festivus and jumping through the leaves. I can’t wait until they start falling!
