I Have a Blog

I've been a writer for a while now- in my own mind. I've always kept journals, which have been for my eyes only. Since becoming a mother, however, this part of my life has fallen away. I'm not upset that I don't have time to write down my thoughts and reflect on them later on. I've accepted it as part of where I'm at in my life. If I'm not too exhausted when I go to bed at night, I spend my time reading rather than writing. Reading takes me away to a different time and place, and puts me in a life that is not my own, where, for just a few short minutes (20 if' I'm lucky), I can live vicariously through a character in a book, which helps me unwind, and makes me sleepy.

I have a blog that I created which is all for the boys, the dog, and family events. With so many family members that live far away, it's a great way for them to keep up with us and see recent pictures of our family. I have a Facebook page, which is another tool that is great for keeping up with friends and family, and expressing one or two simple, random thoughts that pop in to my head. For me, my Facebook page was created for me to keep up with other people, and see what those that are close to me, (and many not at all close to me) are doing.

I have created this blog for me. This is where I will do my writing. This blog is for me to look at, and if anyone else is interested in reading what I'm thinking about, by all means, read on. I'm not a great writer, just a good writer. And that's okay. Because this one's for me.
