So I gave my mom the address for this blog today. This got me thinking that maybe I should post a disclaimer for close family, and then that led into thoughts about why I blog in the first place. It's not that I have a lot to say that I think the world needs to hear, and it's not a therapeutic exercise (although there are elements of both).
When I was a senior in high school, I took a creative writing class in which we had the assignment to keep a journal and write in it 15 minutes per day. I really liked the exercise, and continued it into college. It was fun writing, reflecting, and posing questions to myself. It was even more fun years later to look back on that writing and reflect on how much has changed, how much has not, and what a rambling idiot I was (arguably still am)! So I guess in a nutshell that's why I blog - it's fun writing these things down and then more fun (potentially) looking back at them later. Technology has changed the format, but the rationale is the same.
Now the disclaimer. This is my life. These are my thoughts and reflections. While everything is family friendly right now, I make no guarantees. The f-bomb may come through occasionally, depending upon my mood when I'm writing. Don't be offended. Or do. I don't care. I'm writing for me, not for you. (But I'll try to keep the "kids" postings clean!!)
Thanks for stopping by.
