Currently the slow death of my blog is tearing me to pieces. I haven’t been able to publish as often as I’d like. I’ve been working on a cool blog post for the past few days now, but I haven’t had the time to polish it up because of my workload.

Ideally, I’d like to post every day. But I’m such a perfectionist about getting the pictures, grammar, and overall content right that I don’t want to hit “publish” until it’s perfect. And perfection sometimes takes a couple of hours, which currently need to be spent working towards my “future” — some glimmering peak on a mountain top in heaven or hell, depending upon the effort I put into it.

But sometimes you have to get over your own need for perfection, and just put out a post saying you’re alive, and you’re here, and isn’t it wonderful? And while I’m busy working towards my “future”, I’m stopping here to write because it’s what I love, and if you’re not pausing to do the things you love once in awhile, the things you’re working so hard for in the “future” won’t mean as much.

So in the mean time, while you’re out there, trying to figure out who you are after all these years and wondering who’s turn it is when you all arrive at a stop sign at the same time, I wanted to share with you a little reminder that life is beautiful, and the importance of pause.
