Sweeping Out My Cyber Space

Yep, I’m working on a little cyber housekeeping here at EyeJunkie.  November was a very fruitful month for me in mind and spirit, particularly during the 12 Days of Thanksgiving adventure in daily posting.  Although I was on a mission to pay daily attention to giving thanks, I found that the whole month was filled with posting ideas as well as experiences, words and snapshots that begged to be studied more carefully.  But, with my mind mulling the 12 Days, those thoughts have been left to simmer (and perhaps write themselves into posts :).  November also marked my 6-month blogging anniversary which went unacknowledged but not forgotten on the 6th.  It served mainly as a reminder that I’m due for some cyber housekeeping.

Housekeeping chores include decluttering the categories and tags, fine-tuning some of the photos and illustrations, soul-searching the general pages, maybe adding or retooling a few widgets, or reorganizing sidebars.  Yes, WordPress Dude and I will become best buds.  Like Charlie Brown, I’m prone to wishy-washy-ness when it comes to some of these things, so the three of you who visit regularly are likely to see some experimentation.

I’m also feeling the urgency of prioritizing some of the post ideas that are resurfacing–wary of that use it or lose it rule that applies to french fries and writing topics.  At some point, I hope to put flesh on a review of a great mystery I read, lessons from my 3 1/2 year-old’s fledgling prayers, some comments on Mumbai, Baby Girl’s first two Gift Tags, a praise for something God’s been teaching us about Himself, a few lists, more Montgomery Madness and a poem that’s slowly swirling in my brain.

During the next week, I’m also putting the final thoughts together on a special “event” celebrating Christmas.  I’ll be posting a series of “nativity scenes” starting on December 12 that will count down to Christmas day.  Similar to my Thanksgiving adventure, the 12 Days of Christmas will include poems reflecting on various “scenes” and “characters” in the story of Christ’s birth.  I’ll be posting “invitations” in my social media accounts and sending emails as well.  I hope you’ll surf by with a little comment love.  My hope is to still my mind and reflect again on the incredible story of Emmanuel. 

So, stay tuned!  I’m getting the house ready for company.
