The page is blank, but not because I have nothing to say.
There is a saying, "no news is good news", which is not always true. But when a kid goes away to camp and barely calls home, it is usually because he is too happy and busy to call.
I pointed out to a friend of mine that I feel like I don't write as often as I used to, and that I have been slacking off. She expressed her concern, and thought maybe I was going through a slump. But I told her it was quite the opposite. The times when I have an urge to write, to express myself, are usually when I am feeling depressed or upset about stuff in my life. Don't ask me why there are so many poems and songs about sad dark depressing thoughts, but there you have it.
The Rebbe said, I am here for you when you have bad news to tell me, but don't forget to let me know when there is good news to tell.
It seems that when life is all rosy and good, people don't have anything to write home about.
Here's the proof: I haven't called my mother in awhile, and I don't write as often as I used to.
Consider this a blank page.
My mother always says that if she doesn't hear from the kids in camp, she knows they are having a good time. If she gets too many phone calls that means the kids are bored and not having enough fun!
ReplyDeleteSo in your case, the less often you post the better!
