Musings on Being Useful

So much has gone on...I've gotten caught up and neglected to commit to an important act that nourishes me, what pleases me. I'm certain I have something useful to share in my writing, but yet, when in the midst, I simply don't commit to doing so.

I’ve done a lot of writing over the last few weeks, just none in this blog. Which, kinda goes against my proclamation several weeks back to really hunker down and post more…So, it’s time to play catch up and take a look at what went wrong the last time I committed to sticking to it. This has me thinking about the things that would be best to hone in on, to share on the blog in other words. I feel like blog posts need to be useful , among other things. No pressure, right? But in all reality, it's not like I have a huge following with people chomping at the bit! So really...its NOT huge pressure!

I think part of my delay is my historical tendency to hold too tightly those things that are dear to me. Heck I even do this with my dog sometimes! But more importantly with the esoteric side of life, I do it by witholding. It's a combination of not doing it justice (as in, I can't possibly put that into words) and I think a fear of losing "what's good" if I open up. I've learned (slowly) that this is a falsehood. No amount of goodness can really be taken from you by sharing it with others, with the world for that matter. In fact, it only expands and inspires.

Duh.

OK, so, my last problem pertaining to this is being wrapped up in being too busy and not putting a schedule together to share the useful thoughts (or thoughts on being useful, as is the case here). In theory, if I make time for it, it will come. Even my "hoarding the goods" tendency can be overcome by my excitement to share something positive.
