Throughout the previous couple of months I’ve chatted with just a few different bloggers who like me, have been running a blog for a really very long time. The query about whether or not to proceed appears to be popping up loads. And whereas I totally intend to maintain running a blog, others aren’t so positive. Clearly, the whole area is altering each with the tens of millions of blogs flooding the market, the affect of AI, and podcasts changing into the brand new “factor.” However for these of us who really feel known as to jot down, it nonetheless presents an exquisite strategy to categorical. Nonetheless, even with that there’s the inevitable trade-offs, priorities, and selections. Will we spend our time doing one factor? Or will we do one other? It doesn’t matter whether it is writing a weblog put up or doing one thing else you are feeling is extra essential. Every of us must resolve what takes precedence immediately. The excellent news is that many people have selections. The dangerous information is—many people have (too) many selections!
That’s the place my head has been since Thom and I returned from Mexico this summer time. Final spring, we purchased a tiny home (park mannequin) in Tucson, AZ and ever because the first of November we have now been making an attempt out our new experiment. I wrote (right here) an article about our buy and the intention behind it. In the course of the summer time we had a employee maintain quite a lot of the more difficult beauty points to be corrected. Then since we’ve arrived, we’ve been specializing in doing quite a lot of end work. Plus, we’ve been assembly increasingly folks and immersing ourselves locally. That in fact results in day by day trade-offs, choosing priorities and making selections!
It’s not like I don’t have concepts I might be writing about both. As common, I’ve continued to take heed to podcasts whereas strolling almost each morning. And my two minds are as curious as ever. However as a few of you realize, studying the ins and outs of any new location takes time. The place do you get groceries? The place’s the closest Lowe’s or Ace {Hardware}? The place do you go for a fast chew to eat? And sure, the place do you go to have a good time your husband’s birthday?
Don’t get me flawed. A lot of it’s enjoyable. Particularly when we have now met dozens of latest potential mates since arriving. Simply making an attempt to recollect everybody’s title is a problem. We’ve managed to get out and trip bikes a few instances. And this morning I began up with Line Dancing once more. In fact, it has an enormous pool to swim in, a scorching tub, a small health club, a library with free books, a woodshop, a billiard room and several other totally different lessons to be taught issues. And we’re simply getting began.
What I’ve come to appreciate and settle for is that having so many selections is a present. Slightly than resisting them or feeling overwhelmed by my choices, I simply admitted which have to decide on. I can’t do every part and happily I don’t have too. So perhaps simply embracing the choices with gratitude is the perfect factor to do.
Let’s all bear in mind Thanksgiving is true across the nook. And regardless that there continues to be challenges on the earth and in our particular person lives, most of us frequently have very blessed lives. Once I actually give it some thought, I’m extraordinarily grateful for all the alternatives I’ve. I’m additionally very, very grateful for this weblog and anybody and everybody who takes the time to learn it. And in the event you go away a remark—that’s superior too. Allow us to all do our greatest to concentrate on all the nice we have now and the reward we share by having choices. Not less than that’s what sounds SMART to me immediately!
What about you? What selections are you dealing with and are you grateful for them?
Your share is deeply appreciated!
