simple blogging

Lately, I have been doing much thinking and not a whole lot of doing.  Wondering many questions and trying to discover those answers.  I may over the next week or so share these thoughts here.  Maybe if they are written somewhere public I will let go of them instead of holding tight to them in my own journal.  Not sure but thought I would give it a try. 

For starters,  I began to wonder why it is I actually blog? I first discovered blogging in a magazine article in March of 2009.  I began reading several blogs and thinking it was a pretty neat thing.  I really wanted a way to share our life with family who were so far away.  This would be great.  No more emailing  pictures.   Just a simple post and everyone could see what we have been up to.  I was good to go. 

Once online, I then began hooking up with other homeschoolers and reading their blogs.  Seeing what others wrote about, I thought maybe I could have something great to say or a cool project to share.  I even have gone so far as to write up a weekly schedule as to what each day I should post about.  I was going to be a predictable blogger.  

HA!  That is not happening.  I thought, slow down here, I am stressing myself out about blogging????  No way, it would feel too much like a job.  And in my opinion I already have my perfect job....being mama.  And feeling like I had to blog was taking away from the fun. Plus I was sitting at the computer way too much.  

So I am slowing down and am back to my original plan.  Blog to share our lives.  Although, now instead of only family, I am sharing it with friends....old and new.  And, maybe every once in awhile I will share something great, but I am O.K with just a simple post.
