I've felt less and less attracted to blogging lately, and I've finally been able to articulate the reasons.
Blogging is no longer serving the purpose I had hoped it would serve. I need to be writing in my journal and individually keeping in touch with family members and those friends whom I love. I need to be recording events in my children's lives, and blogging isn't working for me.
So I'm done for now. I may come back to it, I may not. If you read this and want to keep in touch, please do so! My e-mail is emmilee @ gmail dot com. My phone number is 919-636-9568.
On occasion I read or experience something meaningful to me that I pass on to those of my friends whom I think would appreciate it; if you want to be someone to whom I pass references and experiments and interesting information I occasionally share then let me know! I'll put your name on the list.
In the meantime, I will be using Facebook to post pictures.
I will be writing in my journal.
I will make a plan and start saving memories for my children to enjoy when they are older.
I will write more letters and make more phone calls to cherished friends and family members.
I will spend less time feeling guilty about not keeping up with my blog and my friends' blogs.
In this season of Christmas, I am taking the time to seriously consider how I spend my time and what efforts I make for leisure, and finding ways to come closer to Christ. This is one way I am doing so.
Love to all my friends and family,
Emily

Way to sign off sister! It's funny, because I was actually thinking of making my blog private and just for me since people stalk it but don't comment, and I do it really just so that I can print it out into a hardback book and forgo the scrapbooking which piles up faster than laundry. I may or may not see you on facebook, since I'm limiting that big time since a few months ago because I get sucked into it too easily! AAAHHHHHHH! Your picture up top is beautiful. I would like to be on your list of people you send interesting tidbits to- food news, kid news, homeschool news, you name it. If you think of me when you read it/see it-- please send it! I'll do so likewise!
Love you Em,
Jess
