Why Do You Blog?

Originally, the blog was the first internet interaction I had with others...with the potential of meeting new and exciting friends. 5 years later, it seems like I'm not putting quite as much heart and soul into it because I'm often visiting with my family and friends on FaceBook. So I posed the question about whether or not I should continue blogging and a very wise woman asked, "Depends on why you write."

Why do I write? It's an act of allowing my thoughts down on paper. Not much is really intellectual or profound, most is simply from my heart. So why would I quit blogging? It might not be as often, as long or as pictured, but i will always continue to put down my thoughts. It's my journal. And I think it is important for all of us to journal. It is who we are and I think it is pertinent to lay down thoughts and feelings of life's events.

Besides, what would you do if you couldn't see pictures of my kitties and Gus Bob once in a while? Or MORE flower beds or mountain scenes from our float trips. The narration is just as important as the pictures and I think that the blog is a perfect outlet for that, not FB.

I need it. That's why I write, that's why I blog. I need to let out what is on my heart and in my mind. You?

This weekend

we are headed to the Madison river to camp and THIS place to soak in the hot springs. Hopefully we will get to do some snow snowshoeing or hiking, as well!



Since I joined Facebook, the blogging world has faded a bit. Should I continue or just hang it up?

Today...
