You may have noticed that this month on Fridays my Calm My Crazy meme basically disappeared. I didn’t really intend to have it go away silently. But this month has been a little extra crazy.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and have been trying to reset my priorities. I’ve been very overwhelmed attempting to do everything I want to and that leads to neglecting those things to which I need to attend.
I have realized that I prefer to link up with the memes hosted by others more than I like hosting my own. So, with that realization, I decided that I needed to practice letting things go and, sadly, this meme is one thing to let go.
I created the meme to force myself to write about something good, happy, calming each week but really that only added unnecessary pressure on myself. I can reflect on the good without writing about it or I can simply be in the moment with my family and enjoy it. That seems more important to me than making myself write each Friday.
This space is a gift to myself. A place where I can freely express my thoughts and feelings. I don’t need to create rules for myself to follow as that takes some of the fun out of it.
So I will let it go. Say goodbye. And that will help to Calm My Crazy.

Well, I will work extra hard on my last one then. I admit, I’ve been busy as well. Some days it’s hard enough to put a post on my own site.

Especially this time of year it is tough to post.

I had two series on my old blog that I retired, quietly I hope (and I think it was because NO ONE asked me about it, so either it was quiet or no one cared enough to miss it, hah!). It was getting to be too much work, and no longer fun. So they had to go.
You’re right, we don’t need to give ourselves rules. We should just be able to enjoy the writing when we can.

I liked the idea of my meme more than actually writing for it. Rules schmules
