My blogging habit hit some speed bumps, sputtered, stalled, and finally just stopped altogether. I just felt like I was running out of things to say, running out of time in the day…I guess a little of both.
I was just inspired to start again by the book I’m reading. It’s a memoir by Suleika Jaouad called Between Two Kingdoms about her excruciating and harrowing battle with leukemia. I’m about a third of the way in, and she’s just been counseled to find a hobby that is within her physical limitations. She settles on a hundred day project, and she commits to keeping a journal. She promises herself that no matter how sick or exhausted she feels, she’ll jot something down every day, even if nothing more than one sentence.
My goodness. If this woman, in her state of acute physical and emotional suffering can manage at least a sentence a day, surely I can too.
