It's a milestone I would never have dreamed possible when I wrote this back in December 2010
What have I done?????
I just created a blog...... I didn't mean to...... I am not sure I have
time to........ YIKES!!! I have been a blog-stalker for ages and I
love the way people chronicle their lives, ordinary lives, and muse
about things big and small. My life is so full already with family and
friends and work and 2 jobs other than my "real" job and stuff.... lots
of stuff. Could this be a way to find something for me in the middle of
this? - could I let the frustrated writer within me out?..... will it
become a monster? OK so within the first paragraph you already know I
over think just about everything. So I'm diving in.... let's just see
where this goes!!
I can honestly say I have enjoyed just about everything about blogging. Coming up with ideas to write about has mostly come easily. I have seldom found it to be a burden although I do think about it alot and filter my world a little bit according to what is "blogable". I have managed to be consistent with 2-3 posts a week.
In the end it has been about me finding time to do something for me.
Time to think and write. To try different writing styles, to share my passion on subjects close to my heart, to laugh at myself, to vent at the world, to call out to my community...... to make the ordinary moments of my life visible for my family and friends.
To make meaning in my life and to chronicle it for my family.
Thank you for reading it...... and to those who comment......I am appreciative.
Here's to the next 500 ........ I predict 1000 by Fall 2015!
Congratulations on your blogging milestone Nicky! Your posts make me think, laugh and connect (but not always at the same time). Looking forward to reading more!
