So everybody is doing it… changing their blogs to private. I am thinking about it but questioning it for myself. First: is there anybody who even reads my blog. Second: if yes, will those certain readers do anything with my blog pictures or content? Third: if yes, how would I know? Fourth: if somebody does want to harm my blog or me I suppose they will figure it out with or without a blog. BUT, blogs are one more tool for somebody (and maybe the wrong somebody) to get information that you may not want them to have.
So, I am 50/50. If you are one of the 2 people that happen to stop by to read and see what kind of crap I have going on (no pun intended… he he he) and want to continue reading then let me know. If nobody let’s me know then really… that is my own answer-it doesn’t matter what I do because it won’t affect the world turning ‘round.
I was talking today with Cara about the way people communicate. It is like we know so much about somebody before we have even met them. One of my favorite blogs that I read daily, I found from a link of a link blah blah blah. I have NO IDEA who she is but I love to laugh at her writings.
THIS, it is my recordings for my kids-a proof that I lived and left tiny little footprints. I do know more than eating your vegetables will make you healthy and strong. Something for them to have and hold without having to store stuff (like my cool “house dresses”). Just a book of my thoughts, feelings, daily struggles and whatever else strikes a mood to write. I am not writing for money, which so many bloggers are doing nowadays. I am not writing with any other purpose except a very selfish one. I hope to laugh at myself when I give my thoughts a voice. I hope to release some emotions, I hope to record and give my kids a small dose of how much they are loved and how much I do with them in mind. I write because I am able to let go of a thought that I keep hoping to remember (which I never do). I write because I have learned that I love to write. I guess it is as simple as that. Too bad I didn’t keep a journal during my high school years. : )
So, private or not. (Tim, don’t answer!) Still thinking…
Well you know I stock your blog, so if you go private make sure to add me to your friends who can look list and by the way I’m right outside your window;;)
Posted by Lettie Peterson | 23. Apr, 2009, 8:12 amI read your blog, I LOVE it because I get to see sides of you that aren’t available to us when we are out to lunch or whatever and you are so honest and funny and such a good mom. Private or public, this is a journal that your kids (and even you when the Alzheimer’s sets in) will ablsolutely cherish! Keep it up… you are lifting others without knowing.

a very creative writer and your blog is entertaining and interesting. Because we
don't talk much, this is my way of
finding out what's going on with the kids and you & Tim.
