Hard to believe when I began Wisdom and Life I wrote columns five days a week. Keeping that pace wasn’t difficult in the beginning as Wisdom and Life was the only blog I wrote. Now seven years after its inception, W&L is one of three blogs I maintain. The other two being:
Scranton Page Turner
CJP Photo News
There is no way I could keep the pace of writing five columns a week for W&L, three columns a month for SPT and two columns a month for CJPPN. I cut back gradually at W&L. It was in January, 2011 that I cut back from five days a week to three days a week:
Monday
Wednesday
Friday.

As I went back through Wisdom and Life to see where each cut back occurred, I found that they both happened in January.
To three times:
January 2011.
To once a week:
January 2015
And it isn’t that I’m not writing as often because I now write three blogs. I almost feel as if I’m writing more now then when I maintained only one blog five times a week. I struggled both times I cut W&L, more so with the second cut because I enjoyed writing three times a week, however I knew I put too much pressure on myself to write something so often. Now I’m much more relaxed and I don’t feel as stressed with W&L as I did before I cut back to once a week.
And the last thing I want is to feel stressed with something I love to do. Cutting back was the best thing I could have done. Not only was it the best thing, it was the RIGHT thing to do.
Be Happy! Be Well! Be Positive!
Blessings to you.

Once you realize that life is eternal,
That our souls our eternal,
That we return to light and physical over and over;
We then lose all our distress
We then lose all our fear of dying. For there truly is no end

I found the same thing to be true for me when I cut back on mine, Chris. Two days a week is all I can handle right now, and I’m happy with that.
Blessings!

I too change the amount of blog in order to write other things God called me too. We all need to adapt to different seasons and pace ourselves. I for one am glad you DO blog here so I can read your words!
