branding, banners, befuddled — I need help making a decision!
<br>
I committed to join the #challenge30days by @dragosroua.  My pledge was that I’d write every day for 30 days about a collectible that I own.



Yesterday I wrote about my chair collection — telling a little bit about how many I own and their condition and so on.  I’m not a writer per se, I’m a blogger.  Anything to help refine my words is a good thing.



<h5>Today, I’m stymied.  Some call it writer’s block, maybe so.  I think it’s my attitude today. </h5> 



You see, ***I worry a lot.*** 



I know that worrying doesn’t produce anything but more worry and anxiety and it won’t change the things I worry about.  **A long time ago, a very wise friend told me that if worry helped then I ought to set my alarm clock to 4:00 am and start worrying for the day.**



Rationally, I know worry is fruitless.  The thoughts are there though, nagging at me to do something about them.  I have tried to distract myself with busy work.  I have tried meditation and had some semblance of success just noticing the thoughts and feelings.  It was fine for the 20 minutes but then like a flood, they’d be back again to annoy me.



@kus-knee suggested in a recent [post](https://steemit.com/steemit/@kus-knee/the-old-dog-makes-a-personal-welcome-to-bit-sp-and-to-all-newcomers-a-comprehensive-guide) that branding was important for serious bloggers and writers.  I have a fancy lettered name at the end of my posts now, but I would like a banner at the end of each blog that tells what I’m about.  



I busied myself with making a banner for my blog, hoping this would inspire me to get my camera and shoot some photos of a collection today.  My body is willing but my mind says no. No photography today so far, at least.


Banners I did do.  I made many and now I have a choice to make.  Can you help me?

<h5>Here is my short list.</h5>

All suggestions and opinions are appreciated.

Oh thanks!  Yes, that's the one my husband chose.  It kind of reminds me of Country Living magazine's logo.

I liked 3 and 6 the best but 3 was my favorite....it's simple and similar to my present signature.  I'm probably over thinking this and should just leave it be.  Not a decision maker person :)

What worries you, Deb? I think I like your old signature. What's the name of the font?

Thanks Dan.  I like my signature too but thot I needed more oomph. It's how I am - I redecorate a lot too.  

The name of this font....not entirely sure - I found it on a font generator a while back.  I found a similar one that I've used to type happy thoughts at the end of a few color challenges - I think it was called Melody Dry Brush.  

What worries me?  Oh, that's a lifetime of story telling.

Try fontmeme.com if you are looking for fun fonts.

Have you considered a refresh of your old signature? It fits you so well. Maybe add some kind of mountain or sky photography as a background for the banner.

And worry...worry, worry. Or don't! Whatever's happening is still happening, with or without our anxieties. Worry does have the potential to make for great writing material, if you want to spin it into a productive light. ☺

I think Im going to go with #3 but change it a bit.   I like the plane black/white so I think I'll keep my original signature font and add hash tags for my interests.  

Thanks for you input and seeing me as classy.  If you only knew.....if you only knew ;)

Oh the green one is my favorite! It shouts 'countrygirl'.
And I learned that worrying is a waste of my time. I would worry about things that never happened, and then life would sneak in and throw something in there that I had not had a chance to worry about yet!

I love the #6. I would just change the color of #photography #life #nature in black, so it would be more seen. But that's it... Just like the intro to a movie called Countrygirl. You managed to make a tough decision, even for you.

I like #6 as well....but hubby says ew.  I also enjoy just a basic black and white and now I am re thinking the whole thing.  I agree with you re the color.  Yes, I've made it tough....thanks for your input!
