A friend of mine shared this article with me and I loved the
analogy of the duck. Above the surface
the water is peaceful and serene. The
duck even looks composed and content.
But down in the water, under the surface, the duck is kicking her webbed
feet with fervor to keep moving.
I’ve long tried to keep my blog real, I’ve never wanted to
use it as a tool to make everything above the surface look perfect and
beautiful. But this last year, I have
been frantically kicking beneath the water.
In my efforts to stay afloat and keep my life in order, I haven’t had
time or emotional energy for blogging. I
also felt like a blog post was hardly an accurate representation of my life
beyond the laptop. Well, with the
exception of posts like this one.
I hope to return to blogging- which might be a monumental
task to catch up. But thanks for
reading, thanks for asking about the blog, and thanks for whatever role it is
that you play in my slightly dysfunctional, majorly chaotic life. I apologize if my relationship with you has
suffered in the last year as I’ve been consumed by motherhood and self.
