My Theme
Posted on | January 5, 2010 | 4 Comments
Sometimes I think about my blog and it just seems mundane. I lurk daily in blogs; tales about labor & delivery nurses, folks that have undergone fertility treatments (both successful and not), artists, foodies, & photographers. They all have a theme, something such a part of their life that they write about it every single day. I can't help but think of 'Julie and Julia' and her love for food & the blog that resulted.
And here is my blog. Perhaps the title refers to my love of nature, the key to my inner self. But it is my story; a collection ideas with no real direction. Looking back I notice that I often combine my love of writing with my passion for photography, linking a small moment of my life with my photos. & I am left feeling rather warm inside to know that it was not lost. Too much of life is forgotten.
Maybe someday I will find that one extravagent thing in my life that a blog can revolve around. But I like to think that I love too many things to pick just one. My mind is a mess of metaphors and yearning, & I know she will not settle. Perhaps that is the story of my life; not settling, always longing, and nostalgic beyond belief.
So here's to writing about my lovely cats, lost loves, exasperating coworkers, astounding yet very mars-like husband, the simplicity of nature, and the maddening journey of infertility. And maybe I'll even throw a few photos in the mix, and you can ask the story.

The fact that your blog did not focus on one particular theme is why I was drawn to it. Life has so many aspects that we have to consider and sometimes we forget to. It's nice to have someone who just puts them out in the open, making us think about them, or just simply smile.
PS: Did you get my message? I'm not sure I know how to send it, that's why I'm asking...

if the words themselves are good enough, can hold their weight, then you need not worry about conventions of theme or storyline or any of that other stuff. and your words are really good. so worry not :)
