Life has been really great lately. My marriage is great! My kids are doing well! And WCC is healthier than it has ever been. I am extremely blessed and extremely busy! It is a good kind of busy. A focused kind of busy. However, because of my schedule and the demands I have right now leading my family and WCC, I find it hard to maintain that focus at times. One of my biggest distractions is this blog. As I have said before, one of the things I don't want to do is make this blog all about me. Some people like blogging about everything that is going on in their life, but I would rather blog about things that will be motivating and inspiring. In order to do that it takes a lot of research and a pretty good chunk of time. Especially if you want to blog about something that is worth reading. Lately, I have found myself becoming distracted from what my personal life goals are and from what are the most important things I should be focused on at WCC. The net result of that is that I have spent too much time thinking and researching what I should blog about. I don't want that distraction. So...beginning today, I am going to take a blog break. I really don't know when I will resume blogging or if I will resume blogging. In the meantime, all of you in the blogosphere.....keep blogging and keep reading great blogs. Thanks for reading mine over this past year.
