Blogging is a curious thing. It's totally different to keeping an online diary. I find myself constantly searching for a direction in which to head - an underlying theme that I should stick to somehow...but this one is still a hotch-potch of whatever might be on my mind at any particular moment. I seem to be having a bit more success with my other blog over elsewhere. Six entries in and it seems to be shaping into a "My experiences of life with *insert genetic condition here*" blog. I don't know how that happened...but it's happening and I think I like it. I've even got a photo giving evidence of the said genetic condition. Go figure....Now all I have to do is keep writing along that theme and include anecdotes of daily life, incidents, accidents and dragged up memories of living and coping through the young years.
Maybe this blog is just the underlying blueprint for that blog whilst I sort myself out.
Hi Leisa,
ReplyDeletesince you don't have an email up on your profile I'm just going to reply here - sorry for cluttering up your comments space!!
I'm definitely reading - I just don't get time to comment as much as I'd like. I seem to be struggling with the juggling act of parenting, paid work, house work etc at the moment - I seem to be trying to do everything but not doing anything as well as I'd like!
I really like your writing style - you're very raw and honest. This might seem weird but I can't stop thinking about your post about your daughter's first kiss. Sometimes it seems like an impossible task to try and give the kids the self confidence and self love I'd like them to have. It can be really frustrating watching them go through the same struggles we went through in our younger years and realising they have to find their own wisdom through experience - I just wish I could somehow open up my mind and give them all the hard won wisdom I already have! And my kids are only three and one so I can only imagine what it's going to be like when they reach their teenage years and adulthood!!
