Where to Start?

I have been trying to write a blog for the last couple of days and I am stuck.  Every time I start writing about something, after the first paragraph, I am stuck.  I have my music on to drown out any noise around me and I still cannot get anything.  I thought it would be easier to blog without having a specific topic, like weight loss, to focus on but it is actually harder.  There are so many things that I can write about.  So many opinions on so many subjects but which do I start with?

One of the reasons I think I am stuck is that I want my blog to have purpose.  I don't want to just ramble on.  I'd like you, as the reader, to feel like you've gained something from the blog.  Maybe you laughed a little or cried a little.  Or maybe its made you look at a subject differently, from a different angle.  That's tougher task than just picking a random topic to write about.  It has to be something that speaks to me and evokes strong feelings.  There are SOOO many things that fit this category but for some reason, they are not working with me.

Maybe I am trying to force it.  My mind is intent on not working with me and I have no choice but to listen to it.  I'd rather write this short blog to try and figure out why I can't seem to write about anything than to ramble about something useless.  It occurs to me that in a way, I am rambling as I try to gather my thoughts.  Has this ever happened to you?  What are some things that you have done to overcome it?

Now that I have blogged about having nothing and everything to blog about, maybe my mind will focus a little more.  

Until then, thank you for reading and take care.
