I have been struggling the last few weeks to find time for blogging.  I will not give it up.

I had thought about starting a blog for many months (perhaps close to two years) before I actually buckled down and got it started nearly a year ago.  During that time, I was unemployed.  Two of my wife’s brothers were also unemployed and started an Amazon Storefront website to which they added a blog – The Men Out Of Work Blog – and  I was invited to contribute, became and still am the primary contributor.  Once I found myself contributing to someone else’s blog, I knew that I owed it to myself to start my own as I had been planning for some time.

The Birth of a Blog

Now nearly a year later, two out of three of the Men Out Of Work are no longer out of work – one of the newly employed being me.  The new job takes a lot of my time – long hours – but I am grateful for the opportunity to earn and I do like the job and the people I work with.  It’s a great environment.  But it does leave less – way less – time for writing.  I am dedicated to carving out the time to write.  Perhaps there will be more free time after the holidays.  Until then there will be new posts added here, though it may be sporadic.  If you are a regular reader, please do not give up on the blog – I won’t.
