Soon this space will celebrate an anniversary as well. (March 29, 2006, was the first post) The second was published in May, 2006.)
I have ruminated over the last several months about both spaces; how long will working remotely be a perk that holds me in place? How attractive would a different position have to be to entice? Am I as ready to stop the grind altogether?
And in this space? Should it remain Middle Girl (I have to admit to not being in love with the moniker)--I am a long, long way from the "girl" stage of life and have to admit more, I have an issue with referring to adult women as, "girl" (even in the cultural colloquial, "sister girl" manner).
That's a blog for another day.
But, re-brand to...what?
Beyond what to call it, am I still drawn to publish thoughts, art, and beyond? Am I encouraged, motivated, and entertained, by the engagement of others (btw: yes!) But, enough to work to grow, expand, and shift the focus for even greater engagement? Or Is the current level enough--and for how long, how much?
Some folks who left blogging when folks were leaving to head over to the lands of other social media platforms have begun to return to this platform; each for their own reasons. It isn't a flock by any stretch but, encouraging, to be sure.
Not prolific recently as in years past, (140 posts in 2006) the space has begun to feel a tad abandoned, held taut by a slim thread. That said, I have routinely felt more at home here than on any other platform, for what that is worth.
Much, I think.
Still, I also feel a pull for some kind of change.
Or not; this is anniversary musing or the prospect of Spring.
