when it rains

When it rains, it pours. And then beautiful flowers appear and everything comes to life in this amazing thing called spring.

And then time picks up speed and starts moving like a freight train and I just do my best to keep up. I feel like I’ve quit my blog. Not on purpose, and not permanently, but I feel like I’ve ignored this thing that gives me so much enjoyment for way too long. So I’ve been thinking of it a lot lately, and always wishing I was taking more photos, posting more posts, writing about what’s happening in my life, showing you all what color we painted the basement, and lots of other things I don’t even know if you care to know. And as I’ve been thinking about this blog, I’ve been extra-encouraged by the little comments that occasionally get left here. This is not a comment-heavy blog. I didn’t start it with the intention of getting the most readers and the most comments and all that, and those still are not my real goals. But I just wanted to say thanks, to those of you who read what I write and show up here to see whatever I’ve been up to. This is a sweet part of my life, that I am not about to quit, and I don’t acknowledge you people on the other end who encourage me to keep blogging nearly enough. So thank you. I’m planning something as a bigger, more tactile way of saying “thanks” that I’ll hopefully be able to share sometime in June.

When it stops raining. 🙂
