Life as of late has been kind of hectic. I’m currently transitioning into a new position at work (which I am SO excited about) and trying to grasp the reality of new adult responsibilities (insurance, car tags, home maintenance, and all the other fun stuff). Personal life always comes first, but I started getting down about not posting on the blog in a while. I made myself take a step back and remember why I started. Blogging/writing and the photography that comes with it is a hobby for me. It is a new hobby that I love to do, but it’s just that, a hobby. Dictionary.com defines a hobby as “an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and not as a main occupation.” I feel like I should type that up and slap it to my bulletin board in case of moments like this.
I’m writing this post for myself to set new expectations for Cait and Co. Blog and to not be so hard on myself when I don’t get two or three posts out each week. I love sharing things on this platform, and I want to share things of quality. I’m not going to write up a bunch of phony words for the sake of pumping out another post.
What I am ultimately getting at here is that you should balance your life with what makes you happy. Yes, blogging makes me happy, but worrying about when my next post will be or what it is going to be about takes the fun out of it. Other things that make me happy: my husband and family, running, cooking, my cats, being outside, HGTV, wine, and lots of other stuff.
So, I hope you spend your free time doing what makes you happy. You deserve it. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
