Inspirations

I can't believe my last blog entry was done nearly five months ago. I really have neglected this space, which I hold so dear. One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to blog more often, at least once a week. Clearly, I haven't fulfilled that. And I think I may need to rearrange my routine to make time for blogging.

Truth be told, I believe that I am currently in my happiest.  I have everything I need--a simple yet comfortable life, a family I love and who love me back, a wonderful husband I simply just adore, a beautiful little boy who makes me laugh every single day, a promising career and a few hobbies that keep me challenged and feed my passion for creative things. One day, I promised myself to document my happy times, so that when the sad times come--and I know they will one day, I'll have something to look back to and recall to keep my spirits high.  Oh, I have so many stories to tell, experiences and thoughts to share. I now wish I had written them all up!

I don't write much, but I write when I'm inspired. I've had many inspirations along the way, and now they are starting to build up and pushing me to write this entry. There's that birthday message from Aileen saying she wishes I blog more--I have not forgotten about that. There's my husband who reminds me that my "neglected blog" has started fishing spam comments. And then there's this nice message from a stranger telling me she came across my blog through a google search for a recipe and that she has since been inspired by me.  I had no idea people were even reading my blog, let alone be inspired by it.  What a joy this is to know!

So I am making a renewed commitment to my blog.  I will visit this more often. I will make it more active. I will share more and be more inspired by the other wonderful people I read and follow.

I will find the time to write. I will document my joys, and sorrows too. I will preserve the memories in this little space, and one day I know I will thank myself for doing so.
