Comment Circle

I recently joined a Comment Circle. The idea behind it is to make a commitment to read the blog posts of other members of the group and comment on at least two posts each week. This Comment Circle was established with a time limit of twelve weeks. I believe we are at the end of week eleven. I made the commitment for a couple of reasons. One, my good friend (we’ve known each other for over 25 years) is the one who organized it. And two, one of my goals for 2013 is to write at least once a week. I figure making a promise to a friend is a good way to keep me focused. It was a bit slow getting started – my first post was at the end of week one.

This week I haven’t written anything. When I think about the possible reasons why I realize I have no excuse. I certainly had time. And there are still plenty of things I want to share. However, I believe my lack of motivation comes from having poured out my heart over the past few weeks. As I wrote in my last post, one of the most difficult things I do is write this blog.

This has been a quiet week, but it has also been reflective. I still have many posts yet to be written. Yes, I have a “to write” folder. So instead of another piece of my journey, I share with you a bit of hope that is special to me.
