So I'm a blog hoverer... I read my friend Stephen's blog almost every day and hope that he's posted something. When I first started my blog, is that what people expected of me? To post something almost every day so that there would be something to read? Some tidbit of information that I wouldn't reveal on our next meeting? Did I stop writing because I didn't think it was worth it? That really Stephen, and maybe other people who read HIS blog, was the only one reading what I had to say (which isn't all that much I'm afraid)? Did I feel that I saw Stephen often enough that I didn't need to post to my blog? I think so. I didn't really publicize my blog to family & friends because I wasn't sure I would keep it up. I had intended to keep a blog so that people I didn't see/talk to all that often would know what was going on with me & John. But it turns out that I think what I really want is time to write in my journal... Documenting our daily lives... Our ups and downs... MY ups and downs... Do I want to put that on the internet for anyone to read? Do I think I can do a good job of keeping up with friends without a blog AND still write in my journal? Probably not. But I'll certainly keep trying. And perhaps I'll update my blog once in a while, too, in the off-chance that what I have to say will be thought-provoking... Current Mood: contemplative
