Well…here we are. Blogging. I’m a Blogger. I Blog.
I have always enjoyed writing. I’m not great at it, but I enjoy putting thoughts on paper, or monitor as it were.
I think the popularity of Blogging is that ever present need we all are born with to “know and be known” we aren’t just curious about others, we genuinely have a need to know other people. We also have a need to be known. Everyone gets this need met in different ways. Some people say who they are and some people just live who they are. I’ve always been more of a “sayer”. I am not an incessant talker but I enjoy the sport very much.
I prefer writing. Writing allows me to express myself without some of the pitfalls of talking. Yes, I can still stick my foot in my mouth with a keyboard, but the chances are lowered considerably. I can edit myself and try to be as concise as possible. It doesn’t always work and I don’t always get my point across, but then…maybe that’s communicating more about me than what I was trying to say anyway.
All of that said. This blog will be about me and my oh so interesting everyday life but I will more than likely write more about Owen my 7 month old son than anything else. He’s just so darn cute!
