To blog or not to blog....

People often wonder what I blog about. They claim they would have nothing to share with others. My goodness, I have the opposite problem: I have been so busy I haven't had time to blog much.

But, now that summer has arrived (at least according to my schedule), I plan on blogging a little more.

For me, blogging is not something I do in the hope others read it. I do hope that, if you read it, you like it or might even find something useful/inspirational. Blogging is instead for me a way of keeping a record of what I have done, ideas, thoughts, etc. This is really funny for a girl who does not like to write or has ever journaled. Maybe it is the on-line aspect of it and the option of posting pictures, making a completely non-verbal entry if I wanted to. Maybe it is the feeling that I might just be writing to someone out there I don't know and don't have to worry about what they think of me. That is what differs a blog from a journal. A journal is supposed to be private, a blog is open for anybody. So, I guess I actually do hope someone reads it and by not knowing if someone does or does not, there is always the hope that someone does. Yet, by not knowing for sure that someone does I don't have to worry about what I write or how I have written it. Hm..... Did you follow all that?

Whatever the reason, I love to blog as much as I love to sew, cook, garden, read, talk to my husband about quantum physics (really!), go for walks, etc etc etc. And this summer I will be blogging more.

Wow, what a long entry just to say that. :-)
