A bad record tie

I just broke the tie for my worst year of blogging on record! This is my 2353rd post, but it has not been easy.

Between issues of camera pictures not loading, computer software scrambling phone images, or loading them sideways, and then the cumbersome space needed for getting on the lap top, I have let the blog practice fade. Instagram is much easier in that it calls only for a picture and a few hashtags. And I love speaking in pictures! It is the artist's delight.
But the practice of blogging has always been a rewarding struggle for me. I get challenged by finding the words to capture a fleeting muse. I mull over lists and letters. I write and delete and write again.
In 2017 I did not blog in the months of June, August, October or November! Those are the months that I am out of balance, either in transition or in full exertion.

That calls to question if blogging requires, (in addition to better software),  a chill pace... balance?
