Im really not sure where the conversation started, but nevertheless it was had. I was talking with a friend (ah hem - Katy Williams and her blogspot is farmingmama.blogspot.com) one morning as she was dropping her daughter off. She mentioned that I should do a blog. I remember she said blogging was really fun. I quickly pondered the idea and said something along the line of "I don't have time for a blog." Deep down, I believe that is was more a hesitation of putting my personal life online. But hey, you aren't living if you aren't ' apart of the social media craze. Now a days, just about everyone is either on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter? And Im not quite sure how many individual blogs there are out there. But do I have something to share? I would like to think so. Between our animals, garden, preserving our harvest, family and friends, Im sure that I could come up with a few posting every now and again. Not to mention the progress on our new house. But do I really have time. Between chasing kids and pulling weeds, maybe I could spare a few minutes. DO I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS??!!??! Well, um, lets see... yes, oh but I don't know!
Procrastination or hesitation - call it what you will. The result is the same, I am sitting at computer typing my first blog posting. I came to the realization that your blog posts are only as personal as you choose to make them. Who knows, maybe someone out there will actually find interest in what I have to share. Lord knows I have plenty of subject matter around this house. As put by Oscar Wilde "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." I do hope you enjoy reading about our life and the way we live!
