Does Anybody Even Read This????

Sometimes I wonder if it is worth the time I put into writing this Blog? I wonder if I am doing it just for me or if it is to see how many people I can get to read it? Sort of like to see how popular I am- a little return to my high school days. LOL I believe that some day I will be glad for it. That I will be able to look at it like an online journal about my life. What I was doing, thinking, feeling during different years.

I think I may need to change my motivating reason for writing. Originally, I wanted a blog to sort of suppliment my Etsy store so my buyers or just curious lookers could learn a little bit about my tiny life here in Oregon. About me being a wife, mom, creative, vintage sort of woman. I now am shifting my focus to just journaling. Not looking on my sitemeter to see if anyone is reading my blog, but writing just for me. Journaling, and being honest with myself about not only what is going on around me and what I am doing, but what is happening inside too.

I also want to use this as a way to practice my writing, and to put my creativity down on paper. Not just my art work, but my word work also. I hope to explore more places within myself like I used to when I kept journals as a young woman. I learned and grew so much when I was consistent with my journaling.

So, if you are a regular reader. Which I don't think there are many. You may get an earful of the crazy talk that goes on in my head. Count this as your warning. You may want to take me off your favorites list? LOL Just kidding. I really needed to write this out and get refocused now that the girls are back in school and I am looking at more free time again. I am very hopeful that just writing this will get me grounded and ready to begin....... again!

Oh Man, you guys are so sweet to have responded. Thanks for the encouragement. I will keep writing, just maybe a little more variety. I want to go deeper, if that makes sense?

You're braver than I am. I tend to edit my blog way too much and that, in itself, drives me crazy.

I love your blog and I'm not taking it off my sidebar! Keep up the fantastic work!
