Why I Blog
I started my blog on a whim back in October 2008.
Not much going on in my life back then.
I was a wife, mother and grandma.
My sons were away from home.
I saw my grand kids often.
I worked full time at a retirement home and for the most part loved my job.
Things were pretty much okay.
I liked doing memes.
I shared quotes and books and other piddly little things that were going on in my life.
I didn't really have a plan for anything special with this blog.
And then in December 2009 my life changed forever.
And now this is a good place to keep track of what is going on in our lives.
A record of sorts.
A place to vent.
A place to whine.
A place to come and share with whomever wants to drop in and read about the life of a granny who is raising two grand kids and caring for a sick, dying husband.
I can laugh here.
I can cry here.
I can share.
And I have met some pretty amazing people who come to share my stories.
I have found my voice in blogging.
And I Love it!

DeleteIt's nice having an outlet, isn't it? And whether or not I'm "heard" I just feel better getting it out.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love is that your grandbabies will have this piece of YOU forever... so even their kids who may not ever know you... will GET to know you... because you're so genuine! :)
Very glad I found you! XOXO
That is my plan April. I want to leave them something that they will remember about the years they were with me.
