10 Years Blogging and Counting

Today marks 10 years of me being a blogger.  I find it hard to believe.  I have changed a lot in this decade – and my writing has changed with me.  All this time, I’ve kept a general life blog.  Then, when I burned out, I added a second blog focused on my burnout recovery journey (“Pardon My Dust, Please“). And for a while, kept a third blog documenting my pregnancy with Alena (“Introducing CHANnel 3”, now found under the “Family” category starting with this post).  I could never have predicted that today, my writing would all be migrated to this site, which I share with Tim!

THE START

so here i am, starting my own blog. part of me is still wondering “do i really want to be a part of this blog craze?” (it took me a year of convincing before i got icq – and i still hardly use it!), but part of me knows it’s because once in a while, i have thoughts i’d like to share with the world… even if no one’s listening. i know this may not be the nicest of web pages, but i hope that as life unfolds, the content can make up for the lack of aesthetics.

i don’t consider this a diary or journal. i prefer handwriting that stuff. this is just a place where i can collect my observations in hopes that some insight from this silly mind of mine can encourage, challenge or inspire a passerby.

alors, thank you for entertaining my thoughts and watching me grow.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked

or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

~ Psalm 1:1-3
