As I continued to search for a focus for my writing, I've realized that I have a far more serious concern looming.
My weight.
For the majority of my life, I had been slender. I could eat just about anything I wanted and it wouldn't affect me.
Not anymore. Before I gave birth to my daughter, I gained a considerable amount of weight during my junior year of college. When I was expecting my daughter, my weight crept up and stayed up.
Now it's time for it to come down. The irony is not lost on me that as a child, I would comment on the pounds that others would need to lose and quite accurately, according to my mother. Mom marveled at my word choice (for such a young child.)
"We didn't know where you got that from. He or she needs to lose pounds. Most people say weight," she would say to me.
At any rate, whatever you call it, weight or pounds, this chick right here needs to lose them.
Lord help!

Getting it together
Considering it has been months since my last post, before I could complete this posting, I had to go back and re-read what I had written.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed since that "New Year, New Post" post. I still procrastinate and I still have not decided what I want this blog to be about.
The dominant thought I have is to use this blog to share my experiences as a single mother, but that would force me to delve into some issues that are completely unique to single parents and I just don't want to do that. But then again, tackling the tough issues can be beneficial not just to be but to other single parents out there. So, I'll consider that or perhaps I could delve deeper and discuss all family matters; not just those pertaining to single-parent families.
Or I could post samples of my writing and ask you all (haha, I don't have many followers) for feedback. Hmm, that might not be a bad idea.
At any rate, I just hope it won't be another 4 months before I decide to post anything because that is very well possible. I'm getting back into my writing again and this is one way to stay in practice and to stay sharp.
Until next time.
