Why I Blog


I have been thinking about this, especially as I have gone in and out of hiatus.

Here are some reasons that I think are real.

1. It is a creative outlet. I love the format, the mix of pictures and text. It is a fast easy way to express myself in a pleasing format.

2. I like keeping in touch with my friends and giving other a glimpse of my life.

3. It becomes a record, (though limited) of our family life and is a muse to get me to write in more detail than I have otherwise been able to in my private journals.

4. I like hearing comments, thoughts, opinions and encouragment from my cyber friends.

Ok, and some things I don't want to come from blogging:

1. A feeling of responsibility, competitiveness or comparing.

2. Pride.

Wow, I guess that was a short list!

That felt good.

Have a wonderful day!

God Bless,
Cindy

I like your reasons - and non reasons, too. I also don't want blogging to bear a sense of responsibilty but would prefer to blog on and off, as I have time. No worries!

I also like your reasons; it's probably a good sign that there were twice as many things you did want it to be as things you didn't!

Although I must admit, I find it hard to achieve a balance between indifference and feeling like I MUST do things in the "right" amounts as scheduled.

And I'm glad you're blogging again. I feel like it's a way to stay in touch with you.
