blogging

I'm a chronological blogger. I can't write about what happen today until I write about what happened three weeks ago. I try...but I can't. It must be in order!! The problem is, when I get the time and motivation to sit down and write, I've forgotten. So...I asked myself this week, "Why do I blog?" I love my blog. If it can be counted as one of my possessions, it would be close to the top of the list. I love to read my blog. Not that I'm great at writing and find myself entertaining, but it's my story. My family's story. I love to look back, see the pictures, read the funny things the kids said.

Years ago, I started my first blog the day after Carson's leukemia diagnosis. I didn't know what a blog was then, I just wanted a way to keep everyone updated on him so they would know how and what to pray for him. I had that blog made into a book. I can't look at it. But I have it.

So, since my scrapbooking skills are lacking, this blog is all I have. It has become my scrapbook, journal, picture album.... Our tangible piece of the past.

And speaking of blogs, I love other people's blogs too. I love your blog! I think I will share a little blog love this week. If you post this week, and if I read your blog, I will comment on it. If I don't know you exist, then come out of the shadows and leave me a comment.
