WHY DO YOU BLOG?

I HAVE ENJOYED READING ALL OF YOUR BLOGS SO MUCH...THEY MAKE ME LAUGH, AND REFLECT ON MY OWN LIFE...

ONE DAY MY SON JAKE SAID "MOM, WHY DON'T YOU BLOG?"...I SAID "NO WAY, I COULD NEVER DO WHAT YOU GUYS DO" ..

I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HE SAID........WHY CAN'T I BLOG?...ITS NOT LIKE THERE IS A BLOGGING POLICE TO MONITER MY EVERY WORD...THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO SET THINGS UP...SO WHAT IF I'M JUST LEARNING AND MAKE MISTAKES...BIG DEAL IF EVERYONE DOES IT BETTER. AND THEN THE BIG FEAR---WHAT IF NO ONE READS WHAT I WRITE? THEIR LOSS...SO... ON MY BIRTHDAY, WITH THE HELP OF MY CUTE HUSBAND, MARCI AND LIZ, AND JOE AND JAKE...I HAVE NOW OFFICIALLY BEEN BLOGGING FOR TWO WEEKS...

WOULD YOU BELIEVE TWO WEEKS AGO, I COULDN'T SCAN A PICTURE, DIDN'T HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA, HAD NEVER DOWNLOADED PICTURES TO MY COMPUTER?.. LET ALONE FIGURE OUT HOW TO PUT MUSIC, AND MAPS, AND DOWNLOAD GOOGLE IMAGES...AND HOW BOUT THOSE GLITTER IMAGES... I'M SO PROUD OF THOSE..

IF I CAN DO THIS...ANYONE CAN...

I LOVE IT..... ITS THERAPY ...ITS MY OWN LITTLE SPACE, MY LITTLE WORLD. TO SHARE AND EXPRESS WHATEVER COMES TO MIND...

I HOPE TO EDIT WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN AT THE END OF THE YR. AND BIND IT. THEY HAVE SITES WHERE THEY TURN YOUR BLOGGING INTO A FORM OF SCRAPBOOKING, HISTORY AND JOURNAL FOR YOUR KEEPING...

I'M SUCH A BELIEVER, OF WHAT BLOGGING CAN DO.

WE ARE HAVING A BLOGGING CLASS IN OUR WARD IN MAY...ITS GOING TO BE OUR ENRICHMENT NIGHT..MY LIZ IS GOING TO TEACH THE CLASS..

COME ON , ALL OF YOU THAT ARE AFRAID TO STEP OUT OF THE BOX, JOIN THE BLOGGING BUS...BELIEVE ME, YOU WON'T WANT TO GET OFF.
