the GREAT blog debate

I love writing....and when I say writing, I don't mean a two line email.  My emails are never two lines.  When I say that I love writing, I mean that I love the kind that is hearty, thought provoking, fun, and inviting.  Because of this, I've blogged in the past, and have had a glorious time sharing my thoughts with lots of you.  

However, life gets busy and I often found myself forgetting to take the time to do something I love so much.  Then I would scold myself, get back at it, and then fall behind once again.  The vicious cycle kept going and going and going.  The last time I got caught up in the "no time for blogging" mode was last spring after Greg and I got engaged....with work, grad school, planning a wedding, moving, etc. I just found no energy to blog.  

Well, I am now past Grad School, and I am now past planning a wedding, and I am happily sitting in the moments of "Ahhhh....I can breathe again."  Since we got married I have been telling Greg, "I really need to start blogging again..."  I think he's probably heard me say that far too many times.  

But here's the deal.  Starting a new blog is no easy task.  I was attached to my old blog, "Tina Times," because it had a catchy name, a nice sleek look, and it was just comfortable.  But I thought I needed to revamp the blog since my life has been pretty revamped in the last several months.  This doesn't just mean put a new background....but it also means, come up with a new blog title, new picture, new profile, etc.  All of those things, kept me from just starting this blog months ago.  

I kept debating....what color do I want?  What should I name the blog?  What do I want to write about?  The questions kept circling in my head, but I am glad that all of those internal debates have been settled and have this blog up and running...at least for now.  I'm not totally satisfied with how this blog looks visually, but I can deal with it until I have more time to mess around with it!
Until then...the great blog debate has been settled....and I'm glad to be back!
