Blogging - Why?
On occasion throughout the years I’ve written down various experiences, observations and introspection.
I never really had an end game, just thought some of my musings might be worth remembering later in life.
Lots of folks journal, for the sake of being able to look back and revisit events - large and small - or sometimes for posterity sake.
I guess I’m inclined the same way.
As I get older and realize how much I’ve lived, and think about the many things I’ve done and learned, I recognize that my time to raise children and be an influence on their lives was quite short. As they were growing up, I worked all the time, tried to be a good father, did the best I could, but just like that they were grown and gone! (Well, they did come and go for a number of years after the initial exodus, but that didn’t really count much! They had their own lives by that point.)
It is my hope and prayer that perhaps something I record, might resonate along the way. (If they read it!)
Hopefully with you too! Maybe it’ll just present a different perspective. Food for thought.
Finally, I don’t consider myself a good, or even qualified writer. I’m not a deep thinker. If you read my posts, you’ll discover that quick enough! But I do feel I have a lot of “street smarts” that I’ve picked up along the way. Maybe something that I share will help you avoid making some stupid mistake I made or even give you something to smile about!
I intend to post at least once a week for a while and see if I have enough material to keep it interesting. I’ll try to have a new post up every Monday evening. There may be the occasional random post throughout the week as well. We’ll just have to see!
Just FYI - I’d like to hear from you. If something I write resonates or even if you find it objectionable - let me know.
Be thoughtful with your response!
