That Didn't Last Long

Ha, I'm back.

I just couldn't resist it.

Adding to the list of things I have started but have no idea of when I will ever finish them I can now add "closing down my blog" amongst them.

First of all, thanks to all those who took the time for the little messages on here and facebook (Apologies to Alissa for accidentally deleting your comment as I tried to allow it on my iphone but slightly went the wrong box - SORRY!!!!!)

So, why am I back and why did I feel enough was enough?

Well,  I am going to focus on a specific little comment from Strawberri that REALLY made my morning and made me think about my blog in general.

I started my original blog in 1998/1999 at Diaryland. Some of you also came over from there and I adore the little friendships I have made through a persons words and life.

I've covered the lot. Teenage stuff, the single life, dating, boyfriends, work, a number of different jobs, friends, clubbing, pregnancy, marriage, divorce, babies,  death, moving house, remarriage, children growing up, weight loss, health scares. Been there and done it ALL.

I've got personal, I've got tearful, I've been overflowing with happiness, there's been laughter, tears, love, hate, desperation, solitude, anger, hurt, humility and contentment. I've had long spells of hard times and I've been having many happier times in recent years.

But I've always been ME....

I may not get 10+ comments on every post I write. I may not do giveaways. I may not be great at posting recipes, at making crafty type things I may not advertise or try to sell things or have a really inspiring story to tell week upon week.

I no longer have babies, I have BOYS.

They really are growing up so blooming fast let me tell ya! I was given confirmation today that Liam is in nursery in September so I am going to have 3 boys in the same school building. 4 months today and my BABY Liam will be FOUR years old.

So you know, I've always been just me and sometimes that doesn't feel enough.

The internet and the world of blogging has changed SO MUCH in recent years and I can't say if it's in a good way or not. It sometimes feels like the whole idea of blogging has changed.  It just makes me feel that little bit more unimportant that I haven't got a gimmick to sell my blog like many of them do. I don't do themes or prizes and I feel boring. I guess that's just me getting older! ;)

So, if you are still reading this then thank you. I am going to keep on blogging for a while and see how it goes.
