"Blogging! What's blogging?"

I can't exactly remember the day or month I first heard this query leave my mouth. It was within this past year and a half though. I can tell you that. From the moment my daughter's email arrived sharing the "link" to her blog about her boys I was hooked. "What? I can just click and go there and read about all of you? See pictures of you? Watch videos of you?" I have enjoyed, no adored that privilege ever since and for many months now until it occurred to me...Aah, I can do that. Yeah. I could. It would be great to just sit down and write and not have one hundred and seventy four rough drafts of the same thing! I can write to completion. I can edit. I can rewrite it, I can reread...and I can do this. I nary said another word and Amber had it done! "I can make a blog for you, Mom! Think of a name and a backup name or two." and before ya know it...VIOLA! A blog. I have a blog. I blog. Want to follow my blog? It feels good. It feels right! Yeah! I can do this. So Thank You Amber for setting this up with the greatest of ease and prompting me through this first experience. It has been a joy. Because "the pen is mightier than the sword" has always been a nice mantra for me, I have clung so tightly to the actual pen preferring my own particular brand on any kind of paper that can be found...the keys, in their own way flow just as well. The rhythm may have to be worked about a bit but...alas...let the metaphor's begin!
