Not that long ago, I didn't even know what a blog was. I'd heard talk of blogs and blogging on NPR, but really couldn't figure it out. Who was writing this stuff, who edited it, who made sure it was true? Who read this stuff, how did you find it? Why did people blog?
I'm a pretty quiet and private human being. I'm still not sure about Facebook and am pretty careful what I put out there. I don't really care where everyone I know (and everyone they know) is doing right now. I don't even really care where my kids, my friends, my significant other are every moment of the day.
But this has been a rough year for me and I have been deeply effected by the realization that there are people I miss, friends who I want to keep in touch with, who I miss talking to and sharing myself with. I actually do want some people to know what I'm contemplating, musing and ruminating about.
So, I'm going to use this like a Women's Center group. Sometimes I need to be listened to, I need to say things out loud (or in this case write things out loud). I need some comments, just so I know someone is listening to me.
Stay tuned for more stuff that I think about, stuff that I want to share with you.
