I'm in a funk. Maybe it's summer. Lack of schedule, lack of ambition.
Maybe it's the fact that I'm realizing I haven't completed any of my summer goals. The kinda goals where I help one kid with her math and writing and help another kid with numbers and letters.
Maybe it's that I'm on the downward spiral of coming home from one big trip and realizing that nothing else is planned for awhile.
Maybe... maybe a lot of things.
I know that writing on this blog and reading are great ways for me to get myself through a funk, but then I have trouble committing to it. And I'm wondering if anyone else out there wants to join me in writing everyday (minus tragic accidents and Saturdays). It doesn't have to be anything fancy... or compelling or insightful. Just something. A few words. Or a picture.
Just something.
And this invitation is extended to all of you who comment and read and know me in real life... and those of you who read quietly and without any personal connection to me or my family. I think there are a few of you :-) Don't be shy.
Write in the comments if you're going to join me. Maybe we start next week? Maybe August 1? Maybe I already started today?
Let's do something!

Any takers? I've been getting the maybe I could blog again itch, but right now my nerve pain keeps me from typing much. I understand the funk-I am feeling like I need a change of scenery soon-even a road trip would be nice. Hang in there and I look forward to reading.
Funkin' it up in NYC. Need to get started on that summer packet of reading and writing I said I was going to do with Elisa. It's still waiting. And meanwhile, every day is the same mix of avoiding my dirty apartment, hitting the park, dragging kids home to a dirty house, only to realize I should have stayed home a bit to clean. Oops. Repeat the next day. Ah, well. Let's see if blogging helps. Can't hurt.
I am on an upswing, perhaps because I didn't set any goals - ha! I do think, though, that I'd like to blog more and that I do it more regularly when I get into the habit again. I'd be up for a daily thing but I'm sure some of my entries would just be one sentence or one photo.
(The world would probably be relieved -- usually my problem is too many words and no culling of pictures!)
Go for it! Your pictures are always beautiful.

This doesn't exactly have to do with your post, as I feel like your purpose is more to write for yourself. But, I have started to think about blogging a lot lately and how I feel like it's on the way out. Maybe it's just me, but I don't read blogs like I used to. I try to remember to at least check yours and Kate's but just now when I checked, there were 5 unread posts for yours...so I'm not exactly on top of even yours like I used to be. And all the design blogs I used to love and a couple of random strangers...I just don't get to them anymore. I used to keep my reader pretty clean, read each blog daily to keep up. Right now I have 229 unread posts in there and I honestly don't care and think I may never get back to them. I do, however, follow those people on instagram and I still enjoy the pretty pictures of interiors and if there is something I'm really, really interested in I can click on thru to the blog to read more details. I rarely do that though. So, my big question lately has been "what's next??" What is replacing the blog? Is it just instagram?? I've been wanting to start that Trader Joe's blog(?) for a while now, but I've also sensed that a blog isn't the correct place to get started anymore. But, is it JUST instagram? I'm not sure about that either. I want to do something though - I need a creative outlet and I have ideas, I'm just not quite yet sure where to take them yet.
