I started
"My Mundane Mid-Life" two years ago today, and I'm
still trying to write
something every day. Somehow, the blog becomes more and more mundane as the days pass by. I feel the need to apologize for that - though I'm not sure why. I've said this before, I write
for me and
about me. It's just a slice of life - a dull, boring, mundane life, but it's
my life.
I don't get a lot of traffic here because of that. I'm not a popular guy - I just write about the things I do in my life along with a few pieces about things I like/dislike or just catch my eye. I don't try for anything deep, anything philosophical, political or edgy. It's just me. I don't have a lot of friends out there who read this blog, and certainly not a lot of family members either. I'm OK with that. I guess if I write for an audience of one (me), I won't be all that disappointed in my traffic or my lack of comments or even the frequency of what I write.
So, if I'm just writing for me, hopefully I won't dissapoint me by trying to keep writing almost every day. I feel the need to do that - don't know why. Perhaps it's this feeling that may, just maybe, if people stop-by regularly and actually read this thing, then I should keep it going for as long as I can. Maybe I can get one or two more readers that way.
I feel odd reading other blogs, and getting that sense (after a while) of "knowing" a person. I can't tell you how upset I get when a blog all of a sudden disappears. You feel that you connect to a person just by reading what they have to say day after day and then all of a sudden - poof - they're out of your life, most likely forever. It's an odd sense of virtual-loss. There are quite a few people that I miss. (Dawn and Robyn come to mind...)
Thank you all for visiting. I truly appreciate you taking your time to do that. Make yourselves known every once in a while be leaving a comment or two and signing the appropriate GuestMap. Please stop-by again!
