Why I Don't Spend As Much Time on Steemit as I Used To

in life •  6 years ago 

The Main Reason: I've been occupied with reading my old diaries. I am up to 1975 now. Most of what I wrote would be of no interest to anyone else, and a great deal of it is quite boring. Sometimes I am reminded of sad or unpleasant things that happened, and sometimes I wrote about really funny incidents. There are some tales that could be worth re-writing into a story for others to read, if I can only figure out how to go about it. Meanwhile, I will keep reading.

Secondary reasons: Christmas activities, a jigsaw puzzle in process, books to read, continued attempts at knitting. and a (temporary?)loss of enthusiasm for writing.

Furthermore, when it gets dark by 4:30 p.m., all I really want to do is go to bed!

I can totally relate to the 4:30 bedtime LOL. I'm dreading going back to work because I will be getting up at 5:30 a.m. everyday and working until 4:30 p.m. I hate driving in the dark at least after the change of times and not driving to work in the dark I'm just driving home in the dark. We miss you on here, but going through the Diaries sounds like an interesting thing I have been very intermittent in my life and writing diaries, or journaling. I do have smidgens of things written here and there, but I was never faithful with diaries. I honestly wish I had now. You could always take a photo of something that you wrote that was funny and post it. Have a great day!

Thanks so much for stopping by with words of encouragement! Your suggestion has merit; perhaps I'll try that. Best wishes with 5:30 a.m.!

I'm glad you found it helpful... I've seen it happened in the past. There was a poet my first started on the platform who would do that with poetry written from high school. Have a wonderful day!

I bet that is fun to read your diaries. I never wrote in diaries and now I wish I had. Yup, the early darkness along with the cold weather makes me want to get in a warm bed and sleep. It is a busy time of year and just do whatever makes you happy. We miss you and will always be here waiting for you! Hugs!

Awwww! That is so kind of you!
