At one time I did a lot of reading. I wasn't someone who read 50 books a year or anything like that. I would read about 25 books a year.
When I first retired a read many of the books I had been missing. I read Clan of the Cave Bears. I read most of Rutherfurd's books. I liked historical fiction but not mysteries.
Then I found I was reading less and the last few years ...reading close to nothing.
I had an idea what was causing the decline in reading.
Blogging was taking my reading time.
In the couple of months around my surgery I had time to think of a few things. I was off blogging for about three weeks. I thought about closing the blog. I decided to keep blogging but at a lesser amount. I cut out the replies I made to comments. That gave me much more time, However, responding to comments was a very positive part of blogging. I miss it.
But guess what? I found myself reading much more right away! Well, I wouldn't give up blogging because it's very interesting. I might even start back with replies to comments. I might find I have time.
One thing I have to do is change a few things on the blog. I tried to add a reader and found out that I had forgotten how.
