A title without a post? That’s what “Banging a rubber keyboard” was until just now when I suddenly realized that kind of title could relate to just about anything. In fact, it’s more the the title of a new blog rather than the title of a new post now that I think about it. I guess it would go something like this:
Banging a Rubber Keyboard
Where thoughts come bouncing back into my head like they never left in the first place.
Well, something like that anyway.
Does this mean I’m thinking of starting yet another blog when I can’t seem to post on this one on any sort of regular basis? Or maybe that other tech one I tried that got nowhere fast?. No…it doesn’t.
What it means is that I’ve had the notion running around my head of late that it just might be time to retire Just Thinkin’ and start anew. More than a few things in my life have changed since I first started this endeavor, some rather drastically, and with it so has my outlook on life. And although I still enjoy blogging immensely (it’s mostly my current state of health that’s been slowing down my posting) I’ve found that writing posts for Just Thinkin’ has become more akin to flogging a dead horse than anything else.
So as far as a personal blog is concerned I’m thinking that it’s just about time to start fresh. Having achieved the ripe old age of fifty, coming to terms with disabilities and “what-has-gone-before” along with the prospect of “what-lies-ahead” I believe a new platform for putting forth these mind numbing ramblings of mine is in order.
Of course, if I actually decided to do this since the whole thing is still just in the idea phase, I’d take all of you with me or at least let you know my forwarding address in case you wished to stop by. I still have to think some on this and It’s not like I’d just wipe out this blog once the new one was in place. I’d leave it at least until it was time to renew the domain before I’d make any sort of decision either way.
I’ll leave the whole idea lie until sometime after May since anyway since I’m due for surgery that month and I’m bound to need a bit of recovery time after as well. So nothing will happen until midsummer I’d imagine. I just felt like putting the idea into writing is all.
Any opinions on the idea are welcome of course–even of you think it’s stupid. 
I don’t care what you do as long as you
a) keep writing and
b) keep us updated.
Why start a new one? Why not just change the direction of this one? Or are you just trying to confuse me?
Grandad – Confuse you? What’s that line about misery loves company?
Actually, that’s a hell of a question you posed in that how do I change th direction of something that never had any direction in the first place?. I must think on this. At the very least, it provides fodder for another post.
Thanks GD, you always keep me on my mental toes. Hmmm….not a very attractive image that.
Just look at the title of the site. It describes perfectly the theme – thoughts. Your site is about thoughts, mine is about rambles in my head. Why do we need direction?
Can’t say that I disagree with what you’re saying at all. Probably should stay put right where I’m at then. Never liked change all that much anyway–it can get damn uncomfortable.
Well I have to say I agree with GD. Personally I don’t see the need to start another blog when the same people will be reading and commenting that are doing so currently. Maybe you just need to take a break from blogging for a little bit?
You both make a lot of sense. Must be the meds or lack of them as the case may be, that’s causing me to think this way. I can’t justify taking a break from blogging though. My health problems keep me away from it more than I like as it is.
Maybe, like me you just have too much going on right now to blog on a regular basis – we both have surgery next month maybe we should both start again afterwards!!!
Hi Kate – Having too much going on right now is a certainty for sure. It’s a bit overwhelming to say the least but in a subtle way if you can understand that. I’ve been dealing with a steadily worsening condition for so long now I kind of don’t take immediate notice when things start to rapidly “pile up” as it were. Does that make sense?
Hoping for a much better time of it after all is said and done. For both of us.
