By attending this conference I thought I would be SO motivated to do better about writing about our lives and learn the techniques to do so. They had blogging tips and genealogy tips and ideas. Some of these got me so excited I wanted to start right away where I left off on my great-grandpa and great-grandma "finds". Well I did learn some great tools but I still feel inadequate and felt like I did/do not have the talent to "write" like the speakers taught us.
I, however, tried to drill it in my brain the reasons WHY I have this blog and WHO I am writing for. Yes, I would love followers. I really enjoy the friendships I make and the input and encouragements that come from others. Who doesn't? I have to remember that I am NOT a writer, heck I even dislike very strongly writing, spelling and language arts. I always have but I DO love reading, go figure.
Anyway as I have so many things happen since the conference I thought "OH! I can/will blog about that!!" But alas, I have yet to make it to my blog and post. I also have wanted to go to my old blog and transfer things to our new blog that I miss. I have YET to do that too. Then I get SO behind that I don't know where to catch up!
Then watching LDS General Conference this past weekend I find several more "topics" that I want to share but.... You get the point. We have all been there I am sure.
For Christmas my mother gave me a book that a distant cousin of hers made. It was full of genealogy and stories of my ancestors. Granted more than half of the book took me down the wrong side of the family line but the parts that applied closer to my heart were so exciting to read! Then it reminded me that I have my Grandma Snoopy's diaries. They are just the small "gas station" notebooks and they don't have much in them but they are in her handwriting. I was going to type them all up and copy some of her pages and make books for all my cousins but I have YET to do that too.
See INTENTIONS!! I am not sure which page in my life I was to do first but I will get the motivation.....somewhere.....sometime! I can't wait to see what I post!

ha ha, that's pretty funny. Sometimes we get so many ideas rolling around in our brain, that they get lost in the "number of them".
Just start somewhere....and the rest will come.
I think it sounds like you are trying to get ahead of yourself.
I am right there with you! A month ago I hit a dry spell and right now I have so much info to post I don't have enough time - gahhhhh!!
My grandmother passed away almost 3 years ago now and I have a cedar chest full of cool stuff that I have not had time to get to.
There is always so much to do! I really enjoyed the conference though and received some valuable information. It was great to meet you!
I I think everyone feels that way once on awhile.
