To Blog or Not To Blog?

It feels like forever since my last post. Life has been a whirlwind lately. I've been juggling two wedding projects, dedicating my free time to album design and photo editing. Weekends are packed with coaching a women's basketball team and organizing group activities. And, of course, there's my day job and family time. I can't even remember the last time I had a moment to myself, let alone a date night with my wife.

I'm a firm believer in single-tasking. While I can multitask, I've found it's more effective to focus on one thing at a time. However, with a long list of responsibilities, it's often challenging to dedicate undivided attention to each task.

Photography is a passion of mine. I could easily spend hours each night editing photos, even after a long day of work. My mind and body may protest, but I'm driven by my love for the craft. I believe it's essential to find joy in our work, otherwise, we're simply wasting our precious time. It's important to pursue activities that we're passionate about and that bring us fulfilment.

I'm deeply passionate about my community, CFC Couples For Christ. I love spending weekends coordinating events, preparing activities, leading the CLPs or Christian Life Programs, and participating in retreats and gatherings. I feel called to serve God in this way. I've even dreamed of stepping outside my comfort zone and doing full-time missionary work abroad.

While I enjoy writing, it's not my top priority. I could easily sacrifice it to focus on other things. However, photo blogging allows me to combine two of my interests: sharing my photography and my thoughts. Ultimately, the most important thing is that I'm having fun with it all.

I'm reminded of the physics principle of using a magnifying glass to ignite a paper. By focusing the sunlight on a single point, the intense heat can cause the paper to combust. Conversely, moving the lens around disperses the energy, preventing any significant heat build up.

Similarly, multitasking can dilute our focus. While it may seem efficient to juggle multiple tasks, we often end up being mediocre at all of them. We are becoming Jack of all trades, master of none.

So, should I continue blogging, which is currently low on my priority list? Or should I focus on writing detailed descriptions for my photography? The question remains: to blog or not to blog?
