Welcome

Welcome! This is my little blog where I get to tell you about the things that are going on in my little world. I originally started it to chronicle the goings on of our new country life, but it's turned out that regular life continues to happen even if you make a big life change, and move to a whole new world. This blog is a little bit about living in our dream home out in the country, and a lot about the every day life of a Mom.

Uncomfortable

I am sorry I haven't been posting. Every time I start a blog I only make it so far and then I get uncomfortable with being so "out there". I have reached that point again now and I can't get motivated to write a post. I just hate the idea of people reading and me not knowing it. I don't know why exactly. I don't know what I am afraid of? Being judged? I don't know. I should just be proud of who I am and what I think and not care that some one might be in the corner reading and judging me. I feel like I can say "I have nothing to hide" and yet in the blog world I want to hide. I don't really get it. I want to maintain privacy, but at the same time I like connecting with those of you who comment regularly and even if you don't get to comment I know you are reading. I try to remain some what anonymous, but at the same time I don't think it would be that hard to find me if some one wanted to. But so what if they did right? I don't know. I'm so wishy washy.

  1. I'm wondering if you need to consider exactly what sort of blog you want to write. You know me - I like mine to be right out there - a sort of therapy - for the purposes of blogging, I am intimate friends with all my readers. Frankly, I have been overwhelmed and astounded with the kindness and caring that all my blog-friends have given me when I most needed it. Because of the things I reveal, though, I have closed it to MOST people I know in real life. They either need to already be very close friends, or distant enough that my revelations won't be embarrassing to the kids, or make me feel that I have compromised their dignity.

    But,not all bloggers are that open. For example, Christine, at Smiles and Trials floats above the truest Trials, I think. She's hinted at this lately....but her lifestyle with her big family is interesting enough that we don't need the gory details. You also have a pretty interesting lifestyle and I think you could write an interesting blog by skirting around any personal issues you don't feel right sharing.

  3. I think Annie is right too. Right now, reading your blog, Annie's blog, etc. is such a blessing as my personal life is in such a dark place right now. I've tried blogging and I can't do it as I tend to write VERY personal vents that I am then later horrified at the thought of anyone reading. I think I need to keep a diary....Anyways, I love reading about your life as I secretly (ok, not so secret) envy and love your home! :D

  4. NK Sailor, what you describe is sort of what happens to me too, at least I start heading in that direction. The whole personal vents and later being horrified. Keeping a diary is probably a good idea. I guess worst case I go back and delete stuff. There was the whole account of G's illness that I put out there, and then I took it back. I needed to get it all out, but then once it was out there I felt too vulnerable, plus it's his story more than mine, so not really fair to share it so publicly.
