This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “echo,” comes to us courtesy of Dan. Check out his blog here!
I wonder sometimes if my posts are just echoes of posts I’ve already written. That I’m repeating myself.
I’m sure I do.
I’m slowly becoming one of those mums whose family rolls their eyes when I say at the dinner table, “I’m not sure if I’ve told you this …” and then proceed to tell a story they’ve heard a hundred times.
It’s the more friendly, more family and friend oriented version of “Get off my lawn!”
So yeah, I’m sure I’ve done it here. I have 3,772 posts on this blog, and only about 560 of them are Friday reminders for SoCS.
But you guys are like family, right?
You can put up with a bit of repetitiveness. ❤

Sometimes we have to hear things more than once before we can absorb it! 💞

I’m happy to be treated like family. Not only do the people in my family repeat those stories, we all feel the need to give the full account, including the backstory. Tell your kids they’re getting off easy.

I think I do the same too- repeat myself in my writing.

If they look repetitive it is fine right! We are human and not AI 😊!

It’s okay with me if you repeat, because I do a lot of copying and pasting old posts of mine all the time. It’s kind of fun to see which ones I can mix up together. 🙂
