Maybe you’ve already noticed, but I am in a funk. I have really slacked off on blogging lately and on doing much of anything in general. A lot of bloggers go through a period where they are just not excited about blogging. I think I’m just now coming out of one of those.
In an effort to get myself back on track, I’m gonna try adding some structure to my posting. Today I am introducing something I’m calling “morning musings.” Basically, I’m going to try to blog first thing in the morning about my breakfast, my life-happenings, and whatever else is swimming around in my head to help me gain some focus for the rest of the day.
Today I tried something totally new for breakfast. I bought a half of a papaya at the farmers market because it just looked so juicy and beautiful. I’ve never had papaya before and at first I didn’t really like it. It kinda reminds me of melon but with almost a faint cherry flavor, both of which are not favorite flavors for me.
I topped it with greek yogurt, honey, and slivered almonds.
As I kept eating I liked it more and more. It is so soft that it just disintegrates in your mouth and it’s really sweet and summery.
This guy was pretty sweet too…
I love how Liam sleeps with his arms tucked under his belly instead of his chest. I think he breathes better in this position or something. He is unusual, to say the least.
Hopefully this little experiment will help me to get back on track, I’m definitely a person that thrives with a little structure and things have certainly felt out of control this past month (more on that later.)
And I definitely have something fun to write about tomorrow since tonight I’m attending a blogger dinner at Rosebud restaurant. I’m excited to chow down on the vegetarian tasting menu they’ve planned for us!
Have you ever had the blogger blues?
What is your favorite exotic fruit?
I agree on the papaya – I have to have other stuff with it in order to like it. It will make a smoothie nice and creamy!
Tonight is going to be so much fun!!
Can’t wait to see you tonight!
I’ve only had papaya once and I remember thinking it was kind of a strange fruit on its own.
I have been dying to try Rosebud! I can’t wait to hear your review.
I have definitely had the blogger blues. I think it’s completely normal. Plus, sometimes life just gets in the way.
Hey Alayna while I am not a blogger, I do work from home. It is difficult if you don’t follow a schedule and do things as you would if you were going to an office or to any job outside the home. I find it very easy to slack off (like now when I should be working but i’m reading blogs lol)
If you set a schedule and stick to it, i’m sure you’ll get yourself back on track. If you love what you do it will never feel like you’re working, but you do have to pace yourself as if it is a job!
The papaya looks great! I’ll have to try one
I do get the blogger blues, at times. Partly I think because I put a lot of pressure on myself to blog consistently, and sometimes it feels more like a chore than fun!
I often sleep with my arms curled under me too, but I know I’m not as cute doing so as your cat 😉
You may have noticed I’m in a total blogging funk too! I keep telling myself I’m going to get myself back on track but it hasn’t happened. I just started a new job, and I’m having a hard time adjusting to the change in routine! For so long, I had no rigid structure to my days, and all of a sudden my free time is so limited.
I think your idea to blog in the morning is a great one. My mind is always the most fresh early in the day. Hope your neck has been feeling better!
