Oh, the pressure...

I've been linked to the blog of a friend I've recently found through that Facebook thingy...and I now have the pressure of feeling like I have to produce in order to be worthy of the link she's provided from her own site.

You see, she blogs far more frequently than I have proven capable of. She notes on daily events in her life, affects of her surroundings, her love of Jesus and all His Glory. She is quite the blogger to look up to.

Me? I blog when an earth shattering event in my life occurs. When a moment in time needs to be documented in more than a page in my scrapbook where pictures speak, but words are limitless. They can mold, bend, adhere and create. Words are my friends, I love them. Words are my comfort when I'm sad. They are my weapon when I'm angry. They are everything in between the two slices of bread that make up my sandwich of life.

I guess I haven't been eating much lately, the sandwiches have been lean. But now I'm motivated by the grace of my friend Ellen, in her promoting my blog to those who perpetually (or not) read hers. This will be the pressure that propels me to produce...I'm prepared to work better under pressure. Positively.

Yep, I love words, though perhaps I need to address this underlying love-affair with the letter "P"?

Oh the stress! Really, I linked you to my blog so I would know whenever you post. It's not meant to pressure you to post more.

I write when I'm moved to, too. I'm just not as eloquent as you (if you've seen today's post, you will know that's a true statement!)

It's reciprocal, you post, I read, you make me think, and I comment.

It's a conversation. That's important to me, but it's not essential to do it with any regularity!

Um, Ellen, I needed a topic. ;-)


In all honesty, I'm glad you did it. You have, singlehandedly, rekindled the candle that had been snuffed. It's ok, I love you for it!
