What have you done for more than seven years? As I list the things that fall into this category, I find the big things in life, such as family roles, education, and teaching. This blog turned 7 last week while we were in Washington D.C. and like a family member, I remembered its birthday and thought, wow, I am grateful for that little blog. Then I rubbed my aching feet and kept walking.
Vintage isn’t automatically the best measure of importance, and I could never equate writing a blog with life roles. (It’s my father-in-law’s 80th birthday today. Now THAT is an actual accomplishment!) However, writing for an audience has been good for me. It’s kept my frustrations in check. (Do I really want people to read my complaints? Will I really be this upset in a few hours? No, I guess not.) It’s helped me to see my blessings. (Wow, those kids are pretty cute.) Writing has helped me form my ideas. (Do I really believe what I say I believe? How can I explain that better?) For a time, it took home schooling out of my head and to the screen where I could look at it more objectively. (Hey, I really AM educating these kids.) It has helped me to connect with people. Connection is very important to me.
