Happy Friday, friends! Hope this finds you well.
Starting today the update schedule for The Neighbors Think We're Normal will be shifting from "Monday/Wednesday/Friday" to "every so often."
I'm not short on stories. I have LOTS of stories I can tell. But it strikes me that a general "strange things happen in our family and we face them with humor" theme is starting to surface in most of them and I'm not sure that's what I want the blog to be about.
Various possibilities come to mind.
1. This could become an encouraging and supporting community for those dealing with mental and physical illness in their families.
2. It could become an advocacy and informative sight on living with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, neurological issues, bipolar disorder, and a host of other things that we live with. If that's the case I'd have to do a lot more research and homework to make sure I'm offering good stuff.
3. It could easily stay a light-hearted "story site." There's a place for gentle encouragement and humor.
4. It could be some combination of the above-mentioned or something that hasn't even occurred to me yet.
In any event, until I find my way with it a little more clearly I'm going to be a little choosier about what gets posted and that means not posting so often. Plus I have other interests that I indulge and a day job and other responsibilities.
I appreciate your prayers as we seek to figure out where this blog is going.
Thanks and God bless, friends.
