As some of you may know, back in my college days, I was a frequent blogger. I blogged about pretty much everything in my day to day life. You will notice that none of those posts are available now...this is because I blogged about pretty much EVERYTHING in my day to day life.
I've been debating for the past few years about starting up my blogging ventures again. And time and again, I have posted something or another. I has hoped to make one of those blogs that is focused on a specific topic and actually presents a lot of interesting or useful information for others. I debated over which topic to pursue...
- School psychology?-No, I love my job, but I don't want to be thinking about it all the time...
- Motherhood?-After reading some pretty aggressive comments on some random parenting blogs, I've decided I don't want to go that direction!
- Budgeting/Personal Finance?-While it's been an interest lately, I'm not sure if I'd stick with it for long.
- Positive Psychology/Happiness? - I want to start doing a combination of research on positive psychology philosophies and introspection, but I don't think I want to dedicate a whole blog to it.
- Running?-I need to start running again before I can write about it.
Basically, what I realized, is I don't have any strong specific interest in one topic. So I've decided to just write about whatever is on my mind. Who knows... maybe this will evolve into something more specific later.
So what better place to begin than with a basic introduction:
My name is Brenda, and I am 26 years old. At times in my life, I have been very ambitious in regards to academics, hobbies, or career. I have also had some issues with anxiety which may or may not be related to that ambition. I have been much less focused the last few years. I'm not sure if this is because graduate school broke me, or because now that I'm in the career I want, the ambition isn't as needed. I've had trouble focusing on any one hobby outside of work. I am currently taking an extended maternity leave to adjust to life with my adorable little girl. I am so grateful to have the time off, but terrified of returning to work and leaving her with someone other than me or my husband in a few months. At the same time I'm starting to miss work, especially my coworkers. I'm looking into options which might make the transition/ultimate working mom lifestyle more satisfying for me. At home, I have been doing a lot of those little projects around the house that I've been meaning to do since we bought our house a year and a half ago (Hello Pinterest!).
I think that about sums it up. I hope you'll check back from time to time on my blogging journey.
Brenda
