Hello Again!

*crawls back into the blogosphere* Hello again...anyone out there? 

So...I made the sudden realization that I have not blogged seriously in - well, let's just say a very long time. I'm going to blame it on my absoutely horrible time management skills. But don't let anyone ever say blogging is easy. It takes time and care and - did I mention time? 

But even though there never seems to be enough time to do everything...*takes deep breath* I am going to attempt to start blogging again. I'm kinda rusty and getting back into the blogosphere might be a little slow...but you gotta start somewhere right? 

 

I'm going to make a confession. I haven't been counting my blessings. Not very often anyway. There are so many things in life that I've either completely ignored or forgotten about because I didn't count them and to be honest, I think it really has affected my life.

Time management is not my forte. I think you've all been able to guess that by now. Life has not really helped because if anything, it's gotten busier. But just because it's busier doesn't mean I can't still look at the little things. All the little and big blessings God puts into my life. Sometimes you just need to take a step back. Take a deep breath. And count the blessings.

So that's what I'm going to do. My posts might be a little short at times - I might just log in, type out a blurb of a blessing and then skedaddle. But so long as I can keep counting those blessings!

Don't know if anyone's out there or if anyone even remembers me... *inwardly hopes that is not the case*...but hello again and big hugs if you are and do!

I hope everyone is doing well in this beautiful life that God has blessed each and every one of us with. Can't wait to hear from you and catch up too!

Oh yes, and my blessing for this post? Life. Yes, it's crazy and hectic and absolutely full of ups and downs and messed up things but it's my life. And I thank God for it every day.

  1. Welcome back!!!!! :D I'm here, and, while I am struggling to have time to read everyone's blogs, I'm happy to see you back. :) (Short posts would actually be really nice!)

    Life. What a blessing it is that we so often ignore. Yes, it gets busy, and crazy, and stressful, but it's the life God has given us. And I for one, need to remember to be more thankful for it. :)

    1. Thank you so much!!! Ahh it's so good to hear from you! And no worries! I TOTALLY get it. I'm having a hard time keeping up with everyone's blogs too because unfortunately, even though all the posts are just so amazing, it's hard to find enough time to actually read them all. So don't worry I totally get it ;)

      Thank you so much for sticking around and commenting! LOVED hearing from you!! ^_^ <3

  6. I'm glad you're back! I haven't forgotten you. :)

    I get what you mean about blessings. Some days I think, "Life is great; how could I not be happy with everything!" And then other times I think there's a negative side to everything that might be a blessing. :P

  8. NO WAY HAVE WE FORGOTTEN YOU!!! Welcome back, Blessing!! It's super good to hear from you again!! *hugs*

    Life's been pretty crazy for me this past year, too, so I totally understand!! There are just so many days when I feel so tired and like I don't have the brain power to come up with post ideas anymore. So yeah, I've had to learn to be more relaxed about it, and not put so much pressure on myself to post regularly.

    Your idea for popping in quickly with short posts just to keep those blessings at the forefront of your mind is an excellent idea!!! Short posts, long posts, they're all good!! :D

Hi! Thanks for stopping by! :)
I LOVE comments, so please do leave one! I will try and reply as soon as possible :D If you comment under Anonymous, please leave a name (it can be made up or real, your choice ;)
Oh, and as you all probably know, my family and I are under pseudonyms (you didn’t really think I had a brother named Spiderman or Ironman, did ya? We’re weird, but not 'that' weird! :P) If you do know our real names, please don’t say it in the comment box. Public safety stuff ;) Thanks!

Finally, brothers (and sisters!), whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things
