Looking Back
I spent a few minutes this morning looking back at articles I wrote the last two years at about this time. It’s amazing how many memories are stirred by reading just a few posts. I think this is the biggest plus of blogging. This is ‘journaling’ and ’scrapbooking’ at its best.
I’m at a crossroads with my blog and some projects. I’ve pushed back against creating multiple blogs for so long because to me it was all about simplifying and bringing everything under one umbrella. But I’ve recently been contemplating how some projects remain stagnant because they’re just not in the right place to get or give the right kind of attention to. I’m in process now of spreading out my blog into a few specialized ones. The lesson there I suppose is never say never. *snort*
I’m also struck by how often I find myself reminiscing thanks to Facebook. When I first joined there weren’t very many of my old classmates, friends or family on there. Now they’re coming in droves and it’s been so fun to catch up with old friends. I find it keeps me in more reflection mode on life then and now too. The twitter ap there that lets you share what you’re doing right now is such a fun way to really feel connected to people. Although I have to admit that when I spilled the beans a few weeks ago thanks to the ability to chat and connect with Facebook I questioned if it was possible to be “too connected!” *giggle* It’s one of those technologies that makes me question what else is in store.

I’ve been feeling the same way about not starting new blogs. I want to change it up, but the content would be so different than what it is currently. I should start a new blog, but I already have a blog that I have updated in over a year.
I worry about that too, but currently nothing’s happening with it anyway so I figure I’ll give it a go.

I’m at a crossroads too - shifting time spent in one place, to another, and sometimes back again. I’ve been loving Facebook for the same reason, and I think I may figure out that Twitter app to update everything at once. I do wonder sometimes about keeping things separate in some ways too. So much!!

I totally agree…I MUST stay connected with my friends or I am just lost. I LOVE FB and blogging…I didn’t know what ti think about FB at first now I am HOOKED. I recently got an awesome email from a long time friend from HS that I haven’t heard from in over 20 years. She read our story of adoption and b/c of OUR STORY is now considering adopting! I was AMAZED at her comments and she said what I had written (even tho I am not a “writer”) brought her to tears and made her stop and think that adoption could be the way they create their family. I LOVE FB and blogging it bridges the gap for all of us if we use it!
