How do I begin a blog that’s more than a year overdue? The
last time I blogged was March 2013 and I wrote about how I intended to write
more often. What happened in the one year that kept me from typing paragraphs,
you ask? Oh lots!! A couple of months after
I wrote this blog I lost my mother. She left without warning and left a void
within me. I thought a zillion times about writing it all but just couldn't
bring myself to sharing my thoughts and emotions. I still don’t.
Life moves on and like worker ants carrying about their work
you pick yourself up and do so too. We
moved cities (Bareilly to Gwalior), moved houses and slowly settled in the new
place. I often thought about getting down to blogging and promised myself
regularly that I would do it. My sister egged me every now and then too. You
see I’m good at putting things off but I’m even better at coming up with
excuses. I can find reasons to procrastinate the most inane of tasks. Need an excuse, I’m your girl! I've lost
track of the number of times I've wowed to get up and exercise. What can I say,
my excuses sound really genuine to me. Late night, late morning, can’t find the
yoga mat, can’t find the workout music, Junior’s up, Pilot still sleeping…. etc
etc. Needless to say I’m still battling the bulge.
There was no dearth of topics and ideas racing in my brain
but my laziness and excuses always got the better of me. So how is that I’m
here typing and trying to keep up with my speeding mind? No choice. A friend
and I have taken up a 30 day challenge (more about the challenge itself, later).
One part of the challenge involves keeping an active blog, so here I am!! It
was probably just the motivation I needed to start my blog again. Also Junior
is asleep!! Although I already have at
least 5-6 excuses lined up to avoid writing the blog, I have managed to silence
that part of my brain for now. So hopefully this time around there will be a
lot more spewing from this blog post!!
Bye for now
More about the 30 day challenge in my next blog!
