It figures that right after I restart raise this blog from the dead Lorelle has a post about why people stop blogging.  I guess it could be sad, but I prefer to see things another way.

I think that the decision to end a blog depends partly on the reason why it was started in the first place.  Juggle Chainsaws will stop when there’s nothing I can do with programming stuff anymore.  Sapid Existence will stop when the photography stops (which could be the day I die, we’ll see about that).

As for this, it’s a whole different ballgame.  I started this as a collection of thoughts.  Eventually that could either prove to be too much to keep up with because of other commitments taking over my time or I could just get into a line of work where I don’t have much to say that wouldn’t jeopardize  my career.  I’m already close to that working at a preschool now, but I’ve got Winthrop to fuel a lot of things.

So, about the title….  For one thing, I thought that it just sounded better than just having it be “A Promise.”  It makes it more of a necessary thing in my mind.  So, I promise/threaten to keep writing this blog until either the passion runs out or I just don’t have time for it anymore.  And when that happens, I promise not to just kill it.  Instead, I’ll put up a notice of absense letting you know that I’m taking a vacation from blogging.  If you are taking the time to read this, then you deserve to see if I’ll be updating in the foreseeable future.
