Remember Who You Are

I am a recovering blogger! I used to have a blogspot a long time ago but I had to stop for three reasons.
First of all, I really WAS addicted. I spent almost all my free time (including many hours I should have
been sleeping) checking in on myself. I was looking for comments, responses, validation, etc. It became
ridiculous.

Secondly, I was blog-page illiterate. Seriously. I became more concerned with how I could NOT make
my page look "cool" like everyone else's! I was on the phone constantly with a good friend and she tried
to walk me through....but I was a hopeless cause. So I have already told myself not to worry about such
trivial matters this time around! I will attempt to keep my blogspot-envy at bay.

And finally.... I really did NOT have a lot of extra time on my hands. Before, I was a full time student, mother
of two, wife of one and all that THAT entails. It came down to whether or not I wanted to pass my classes and
continue being an excellent wife and mother......or keep up on the blogging!

So....two and a half years have gone by. I tried to get back into my last page....I don't know how long they
keep those things.....but I can't remember my old email address. That bums me out because I had a few really
good posts that I would have liked to have kept.

Now I am back. At the suggestion of a book I am currently reading. I love to write and I have decided
to really work on my thoughts, ideas, etc. The book calls it "practice writing". So most of it will not make
any sense to anybody except me. I am using it for my own benefit. That's why I named this first post,
"Remember Who You Are". I am going to TRY to keep it internal.

Anyhoo.....in the small chance that someone out there in blogworld happens by my really boring page....
welcome!

BTW- I finally found my OLD blog, The Musings of Mary Jane. If you have time you should read it!
