Zero Inspiration

I've had the desire all day to write a new post. Some mornings I wake up just knowing its a blog kind of day. Usually there is something on my mind, or I've found inspiration during the previous few days.

However, this morning was a little different. I knew I wanted to post something, but unlike most other times, I had zero inspiration. During the course of the day I was searching for this inspiration. I looked for it in my Bible, on the radio, in conversations.....

Nothing seemed to hit the right nerve because at 7pm this evening I found staring at a blank computer screen, having no idea what was going to come from my mind and out my finger tips.

I began to wonder why I was even sitting here if I had nothing to write about. After walking away several times I knew that I would be mad at myself if I just quit.

So, trying to close out the noise of the house (which isn't easy with Sunday night football) I started thinking about why I was choosing to keep this blog. The only word that came to mind was Passion.

My trusty dictionary.com came up with this definition for Passion:

Any powerful or compelling emotion or feeling, as love or hate.



After doing a little soul-searching, I realized this definition fit pretty well. I love to write. 

I have been keeping up a personal blog for almost 3 years now. The hardest part is not knowing who is reading.......or if anybody is reading at all. In the past few weeks about half a dozen people have mentioned to me about reading my blog. Its nice to hear that people find my writing worth reading. Writing really is my Passion and its a form of therapy; a way to get stuff of my chest!

I'm currently looking for another way to put my writing to use. While I love my blog and plan to keep it up for as long as I possibly can, I don't want to get 'stuck' here. Whether it be volunteer work, or possibly something to supplement my current income, I'm hoping to take a risk and put my writing out there. Any suggestions?
