Most of us suffer from it, most try to cure themselves from it, but few succeed in beating the problem. It’s something that can be left unchecked for weeks or even months. The symptoms include guilt, anxiety, loss of productivity, and can even cause relationship strain. It’s known as IBS, or Infrequent Blogging Syndrome.
I suffer from it, most of the bloggers I follow suffer from it, and yet, very few of us do anything about it. I’m not going to try and cure myself, but at least recognize that I have a problem (step 1, right?).
IBS is often caused by lack of exciting events in one’s life. Day after day we experience many things that are noteworthy, but in our hustle and bustle of everyday life we don’t take the time to share them. Most things we do are things we’ve done many times before and don’t take interest in them, others are so small that blogging is not worth the effort.
I’ve spent much time of late just enjoying the things that happen every day. Going to work (OK, not a ton of enjoyment there, but it’s not bad), spending time with family, photography (love that the weekly photo contest is back), and trying to get into the kitchen more often (dinner last night was very tasty, recipe to follow). Those are all things that I don’t think day to day deserve my time at the ol’ keyboard to blog, but I’m sure peeps out there care to hear.
With all of that, I’m not going to go into a long rant on all of the things that have been going on, but I’ll try harder to drop a line or two more frequently to check in on day to day life.
So, for now, it’s back to the kids and the Misses, my camera, and my favorite new kitchen gadget (new espresso maker, gotta love coffee).
