For The Love Of Blogging

I am filled with excitement over something that I have, unfortunately, taken for granted. I find it terribly exciting that the more I delve deeper into the intricacies of blogging (and when I say blogging, I don’t just mean keeping a journal) the more I learn! Labelling myself as a blog addict would be an understatement. These days I eat, breath, and sleep blogging. Sometimes I feel that I am entering the realm of obsession. I may have gone over the top with my passion for this media. However, I do believe that this is a good thing.

Let me waxe philosophical for a moment. One of the greatest satisfactions in life is to be able to feel deeply about something. We all know how temporal life on this planet is and it would be such a waste if we’re just living each day waiting for the inevitable to happen. So the best we can hope for is that we’ll have something bigger in our life than our usual everyday existence; something that would distract us from the dreariness of our everyday lives.

For the present this is my distraction. I say for now because I do not know how long this fascination will last. When I was younger it was that fuzzy yellow ball that makes me get up everyday. I couldn’t stop thinking about tennis. When I’m in school and not on the tennis court, I play matches in my mind. I read all the tennis literature I can get my hands on and go to great lengths just to watch the world’s best play. Now with injuries and age (some may refer to this as injury, and no I’m not that old) I have to be contented with playing tennis in my mind.

Call it passion or calling or vocation, but the important thing is we have something that makes us all pumped up and feel fully alive. At the moment blogging does this for me, and I can only hope that I can sustain this feeling longer than my earlier tennis fantasy. The good thing about blogging is that it is timeless. You can never be to young or too old to blog.
