Ok, so I posted my first entry and was feeling quite pleased with myself. That is until I shared it with my husband. Ron, who is usually extremely supportive, said that the writing was good, but wanted to know what the point was. He had a couple of questions:
1. Why would anyone want to write a blog?
2. Who in the hell would spend time reading someone else's life story?
After pondering what he said, I got to thinking that there may be some merit behind this opinion of his. Why am I spending the time writing about my journey when I am actually living it? Who will read it? Who will care? I think these are all questions that I pondered before I began this task...but do I really have any answers? Is this just a guy thing, this thinking that reading someone else's story is a waste of time? Or does he just not get it?
These are all good questions and I will spend some time thinking about them. I am also interested in everyone else's thoughts and opinions. If you are so inclined, please drop me a line letting me know what you think about this. Thanks for reading!

I am one of those people who love discovering what makes a person be who they are...what makes their heart beat faster, or sends them into paroxysms of joy.When I read someone's blog, I get a keyhole into their loves, joys, passions, hobbies....and view a slice of their overall reality. I think it is a mirror for me, and often see snippets of myself through their experience. The commonality of our experiences draws me close to a person, whether or not I ever meet them. I love the intense scrutiny with which you are exploring blogging..and your life experience.I look forward to continuing to share your exploration as you expand YOUR possibilities through this medium.
