Last week I was sorting socks. The sock basket was full to over-flowing, so I sat down for an hour to tackle the job. Of the socks there, I found a total of 25 pairs and EIGHTY-ONE unmatched socks. Yes, I counted. Some I knew the dog had eaten, some the dryer ate, and some poor partners just got separated along the way. Still, 81 socks!
Some life application came to mind and I thought I'd post on Facebook. Right after that thought, though, another came: who is really going to see it on there anyway? The few who might be on when I post it? And such a silly post, a few likes maybe, if that.
So I didn't share. That has happened to me more and more. I like reading others' happenings, so I log in every once in a while, but even then I don't like to post because of the emails I get. Baby births are the worst...25 emails because I said, 'How cute!' or feeling like a hypocrite if I just pass by (didn't I want people to connect with mine?).
My answer? If only a few people are going to read it anyway, why not control the amount of characters I use, the ease in which I can post, and have a place where friends know where they can find me if they want? Viola, the Blog!
I'm a bit of a philosopher by nature, have a multitude of creative ideas every day, and can write somewhat well, so a blog seemed like a feasible solution. I would love a few subscribers, but am still willing to shout in the wind as needed. I promise not all the posts will be long and rambling, despite what the title says.
Hope your holiday is lovely and maybe I'll see you here again sometime!
