I've given it a good deal of thought lately, and I've concluded that I don't live what I'd describe as a highly bloggable life. And I couldn't be happier about it.

I am content. My life is noteworthy for its lack of conflict. (Unless you count near-daily scuffles with the teenagers, but really...) I am happy in the relationships that I have, and those that I've left behind. All childhood traumas were effectively examined and put to rest long ago. I share my life with a wonderful man and a couple of kids I genuinely like and enjoy spending time with. I'm fortunate in my family and friends. I'm well suited to the work I do. I have the time and the opportunity to pursue my hobbies.

I almost hate to spell it out like this for fear of bringing down a curse.

At any rate, none of this makes for riveting blog posts. My day-to-day existence is quite lacking in drama, chaos, and adventure. And while there are many fine writers who can post on just about anything and make it interesting, I'm not among them. (Note to self: is there any possible way to add interest to this post about being basically uninteresting?)

This is what I'm sure of: if a boring blog is the price to be paid for the life I live, I'll gladly pay it.
