One Day Off

One day off...

For the past several years, like clockwork, I have written my blog on the last day of each month.

However, on the eve of March 31st at around 8pm, I realized that I had not yet started. Usually I stop whatever I am doing and begin working.

But this night was different; I didn't.

Simply put: I was exhausted .

My weekend had been non-stop with travels and other unexpected stressors.

And as I lay in bed, I thought, "Who will take notice if I miss a day?"

"Do I have a committed audience that actually tracks my monthly posts?"

And I became bothered.

Whether I have an audience or not is not WHY I write.

Whether anyone takes notice is NOT why I write.

I write for ME, my wellness, and desire to create.

If it appeals to others, speaks to their heart, and even sparks a note of praise or random comment- that's an added bonus.

And if I am one day off after three years of consistently making my deadline, I'd say that's still a pretty impressive record.
