Stuck In A Rut

-

Lately, I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front for this blog. But that is partly because I am having a hard time finding something to write about. While that isn't all true I do have two blog posts that I started working on, but haven't finished yet because I got stuck with where to go next. On the blog have for "The Knit Potato" I put up two blog posts this week. So you are more than welcome to pop over and read them. I also plan on having another post or two up there soon.

When I come in here to either write a blog post or poke around I always go to the Reading List page to see what the bloggers that I follow have written. Which is what I did before I started writing this post. So when I went in there the post at the top was written by an acquaintance of mine named Grace. The title of her post is called "A Summer Funk," which is kind of what I am feeling at the moment. While I post a variety of topics and don't usually plan them by season, what Grace wrote in her post is so true. Especially in this paragraph that she wrote.
"I think frequently about how difficult it is to find good blog posts that are either a) interesting or b) useful in a practical or applicable way...for instance, I'm not a parent or a doctor, but I find pregnancy posts or daily routines of a third-year medical student equally fascinating. Plant posts, essential oils, and DIYs? Not so much. For someone else, that might speak to them. That's okay...I just know it's not aimed at me and move on. A bonus is reading one that also speaks to me and where I am in life right now: life organization, jobs, mental health, books and podcast recommendations, interiors, and such."


In this paragraph, I love how Grace mentions that it can be difficult to find good blog posts that are interesting or useful/practical. Which is something that I sometimes struggle with when I am trying to figure out what to post about. I think that it is because of the feeling of not being interesting enough that I have slowed down in my blogging and struggle with finding something to post about. While I have since deleted my old blog, but if I still had it up and running I could show how I posted over there quite frequently and just looking at the posts that I have written here I posted a lot. And while posting infrequently isn't bad, I want to try doing it little more than I currently have been. In the meantime I plan on working on what to post about and if I want to stick to a schedule of sorts of when I will be posting. Hopefully, I finish the two blog posts that I started and still have sitting in the draft pile.

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

7 Quick Takes Friday

--- 1 --- The other day I was feeling a bit bored so I made a couple covers for the story that I started working on. --- 2 --- A couple of weeks ago I was looking up pictures of the minons from "Despicable Me", don't remember why, but while I was scrolling down the page I came across this minion picture: --- 3 --- I found this on Pinterest a while back... --- 4 --- On Sunday we had to shovel snow off the driveway. It was really cold out and it made my stomach kind of hurt a little bit afterwards. The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
