This morning I was up and thinking about the visit from a friend and her youth group girls(about 25 all together). They came today to talk with me, to find out about the life of my family. Early this morning I sat down at the computer, pulled up my blog (an old one) and began looking. Scott asked what I was doing? I laughed and told him I was trying to find a blog that told me why I do what I do!? We laughed. There are days I need my blog ...to look back...to peek at good time and hard times. I have always maintained this blog is first about me ....sharing my thoughts....working through my thoughts and if nothing else....being able to blog and walk away from that issue. I blog for my children too. I could never preserve all these memories and frankly I do a poor job even when I am blogging lots!
Today, with tears in my eyes (and running down my face) I read about a mother who died of cancer after a very short 2 1/2 month battle. Such a loss! Such sadness! I don't have to know much about her at all to know she will be missed. I read this blog post of hers and it really made me think about my blog. I am thankful for the years of blogging I have "under my belt" and if anything I lament I did not blog sooner! I am thankful for the avenue of sharing blogging gives me....if ONLY for my children!
I sometimes find my "brain" here. I look back at dates and times and smile at the sillies. I am grateful for each post, and for the ability to spend time sharing and keeping those memories alive:)
