I have never been a journaler (i.e. a person who keeps a journal). Why? Because I'm terrible at it. I will be vigilant at making daily entries for about a week or so and then I fall off. Then when I got back to it a month later, I feel like such an idiot that I don't know what to write. And when I re-read what I had written earlier, I wonder why I felt it necessary to write about such mundane things. I don't know....maybe I'm just hard on myself, but I am terrible at keeping journals. This does all lead to something....
I am also a terrible blogger because blogging is like an online journal. I'm always good in the beginning and then I fall off. Maybe it's because here I feel like I am trying to express myself in a such a way that strangers who read it will partially understand who I am and what I stand for. But then I realize that no one really reads this, so why should I care so much? Actually, one of my biggest hang-ups in life is caring too much about what others think of me. Why should it matter what others think? One of my favorites quotes is by Dr. Suess and says, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind."
I need to start living by my favorite quotes...

Hey! I read this, and I'm a somebody! Well, at least to my kids I'm a somebody! ;)
I stumbled onto your blog from Alaska in the South. I really like the Dr. Suess quote! One of the great things about blogging is that you can remain anonymous and not care at all what people think of what you have to say! Keep up the blogs! :-)
