If You Don't Have Anything Nice to Say...

Since starting this blog about a year ago I have tried to put up 2 posts a month.  I usually have a running list in my head of topics I want to cover and there is enough excitement in my life with 2 school age children that new topics usually pop into my head all the time.

Well, I must be in some kind of a funk this month because every time I sit down at the computer to write a blog post I find myself wanting to write a rant.  I'm steaming about a few things right now and was considering airing it all out on the blog.  After all, many bloggers do this and it's probably pretty cathartic.  I have gone on mini-rants before, but the things bothering me right now are a little too personal.  I'm not sure a public blog is the place to air that out.  Sure this blog has been a great place for me to explore some of the big life questions I've wrestled with while turning 40.  But perhaps one thing I've learned is when to shut my mouth.

Consider it shut for this month.  I'm going to work on my anger, focus on the (many) positive things going on right now, and save my ranting for a more appropriate audience.  Perhaps my next blog topic will be on something much less controversial - like politics.

Happy October, everyone.
