Five Bucks

"What to blip....what to blip....what to blip (look around), hey there's five bucks"

Moments later while laying on the front patio photographing a five dollar bill, my husband walks by:

(Laughing) "Oh my gosh, what are you doing?"

(Trying not to laugh) Me, "Oh nothing"

"Are you totally desperate for a blip?"

Me, "No....well..maybe....I'm practicing Depth of Field......okay YES! Yes I am totally pushing a blip right now"

(Smiles) "Ooookay"

So I have come to a conclusion. It is something that has been on my mind for the last several weeks. I realized this when I started to question why I was taking so many blip vacations. I just don't know if I am in the mood to continue loading a blip every single day.

Aaaah I can't believe I just revealed it here. I've been conflicted. Because blip is my blip. My place to express myself. My motivator. My happy happy place. But lately I have been forcing my photographs and I don't want this site to start to feel forced for me. I want it to still be my outlet for creative writing and emotional photography....when I am inspired to share it.

I don't want to burn out so as hard as it is going to be, I am going to pull back just a bit. When I found myself photographing my dinner two times this week, just as a filler because our day was so busy and I didn't get a photo, I realized that I was pushing something that really doesn't need to be pushed at this daily pace indefinitely.

So a few blips a week. I will start with that. I am proud of my daily blipping up to this point. But I am also enjoying some of the freedom that comes from being away from the computer as well. I will always take my photos but now I want to post just the pics that hold a really special meaning or the blip that allows me to write about something that will make my heart and soul feel content after writing it.

But backing away from the computer has also made me loose touch a bit with many of the blippers who I really enjoy following. And that makes me feel bad that I am not as connected with their photography as I once was. I am just trying to balance myself in my life. And I think that this might just be the best solution for me.

So basically, I can thank this 'five bucks' for showing me that I don't have to be desperate about my blipping. I can keep it real but at my own pace. So sorry to my daily blip stars who are cussing me out right now.......this gal got too accustomed to the vaca's. I am proud in knowing that my daily blipping lasted almost three whole years. That's a huge accomplishment for me. Ciao yo's!
