October 2011
I started writing this in September 2009 as an assignment for a continuing education class. I found I really enjoyed it and kept it up.What is its purpose? I guess it is just sort of an online diary/journal. People have asked me, "What do YOU have that is interesting to write about?". I know I don't have anything especially profound or interesting to say, but I think a regular person's every day life is plenty interesting. I love to read other people's blogs...even if I don't know them IRL (in real life). As for this blog, I love to go back and read old posts. I am glad I have some documentation of what has happened and how I felt, emotionally or physically ("oh, yeah, I was so tired this time last year too!"). It has been a good outlet for me.
The tricky part of online documentation, i.e., a blog, is the fact that IS online for anyone to read. I struggle with that a bit. I have purposely not included any last names on this blog, so I can maintain some privacy for my family and friends. I have been asked if I ask a friend or family member's permission when I blog about them and include pictures. I think most of my family and friends know that I would not post anything too private/controversial (not on purpose, anyway!). If I ever do, let me know!
It makes my day when someone tells me, "I read your blog!"
Thanks for taking the time to visit here.
