I'm Back?

I've taken a hiatus from blogging, as you may have noticed. I was feeling like I didn't have enough time to blog. Also, I kind of felt like no one was reading it. Was I just writing to hear myself write? Plus, I felt a little weird that my blog didn't have a real solid theme. It seems like a lot of blogs are about a certain thing - whether it be their family, or food, or fashion, or photography, or travel. Did I need to focus my blog a little more? I want to come back. Mainly because I have things I want to write about. If no one reads my posts, I guess it doesn't matter. I just have a need to get things written down from time to time. For me, writing relieves stress. I've gone back and read some of my old posts and there are quite a few that I'm really proud of. I hope that others are able to enjoy them as well, because I often find my day brightened by the genius of a blogger or writer. I guess, ultimately, this blog is just for me. And who cares if my posts are all over the map? That's what the labels feature is for. If I need to write about the Broncos one day and discuss the scriptures the next, then that's okay. There's nothing wrong with ranking reality show contestants for weeks on end and interrupting it with some story about my personal life. After four years using the blog title "In My Book" I've decided to retire it and use something else. So I'm trying out new titles. For now, I'm using "Gallimaufry" which is by definition "hodge podge" and kind of fits with the theme (or lack thereof) of my blog.
