I'm finishing up my 30 days of blogging in the midst of a thunderstorm and a torrential downpour that has been drowning us all day. No joke. I love a good rainy day, but this is a little extreme. We're having costal flooding from the river and rain flooding all over the rest of the property. The photo above was just taken outside of the cottage. It's wet here. Very wet.
Well, 30 days of blogging. I have to admit that it was hard. I didn't love it. It felt like a chore to cross of the list each day. In fact, I felt like most of what I posted was just mumbling because I didn't know what to write. I need a direction for this little spot on the internet. Somewhere to focus. Right now, I just post whatever comes out of my head. I want it to mean something.
All that to say, that I think my posting will continue to be sporadic until I figure out what this space is supposed to be or if it's supposed to continue at all. I used to love blogging. This year is Cottage Girl's 9th blog-iversary. Most of those years, this has been a place where I love to come and share. But I also know that there are seasons in life and sometimes it's time to let things go. Don't know if it's exactly time to say goodbye to this space yet, but I'm also okay with taking the time to evaluate whether this is the platform I want to use to share my thoughts.
I'll still be on Instagram because I love it dearly (and avoiding Facebook because I really don't like it even one little bit). I'll still be sharing snapshots of camp life and travels and pretty things there. You are welcome to come and join me. I'm finding that a photo and few words are where the wind is taking me these days. And that's okay. Seasons to everything.
So, I'll see you when I see you. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe next week. And maybe no one is even reading, so this is all just a journal entry for someone to find 30 years in the future.
xoxo,
Cottage Girl

I've very much enjoyed your last month of blogs. I feel like I don't have as much time to comment on blogs recently, but know that I've read and loved them. I hope Cottage Girl doesn't disappear, but I understand seasons too. Thanks for letting us into your life!
I enjoy your blog a lot, too! But I feel kinda like I don't have much to say on my blog these days either, so I totally understand. Hope you still have a sporadic update here and there. I do so love your pictures! :)
I would be sad if you stopped writing, the only way I would accept is if you decided to write a novel. It's so hard to write consistently. Some of my blogs are so cruddy b/c I'm just trying to post 4-5 times a week. I feel you.
