Number 50
Am I a blogger?
Right now marks my 50th post, and I am struck by the idea that I tried to start this site last October for fun and have contributed in the past sporadically (or when I wasn’t busy trying to have a life, to report on it.) I see my friends effortlessly post their ideas and thoughts and witty repartee and I look at my posts which sometimes have glimpses of humor but are for the most part written when some thought is bothering me and the only way I can excise the demon is to write it out.
I am using you all as therapy to the thoughts keeping me hostage and I wonder, is that what blogging is?
If I suddenly felt well enough to leave the sanctity of my house on a regular basis, would I take any readers along with me? Would I report on the triumphs and misery, would I share enough to endear any reader or vest them in my life? I wonder, is THAT what blogging is?
Am I brave enough to actually write the real issues down and not just the epiphanies that occur post event? Or will I continue to use this little road stop as my own personal reflecting pond?
Anyway, not a groundbreaking post, but thought I’d highlight the first real milestone I’ve had here.
Merry Christmas to all I hope you have a wonderful season full of people who love you.
