Day 30.
We made it!!
September is over, and we made it with 27 blog posts. I'm pretty impressed with myself- even if Dad just sent me a message to remind me to blog. (Technically, he just asked if I needed encouragement.) And thank you to those who've read with me each day. (or day or 2)
So, what have I learned through this process?
Mostly, I've learned that I love writing, but that the lack of clear scope of the blog and the uncertain audience makes blogging incredibly difficult for me.
There were times during the month that I wanted to pour my soul out all over the laptop. I wanted to go to those deep, sometimes ugly, places where my mind spends much time, but I despise drama. Yes, my former bestie, drama, now makes me physically ill. I can handle real and emotional, but I can't stand all the syrup-y nonsense that is taking over blogs and social media.
So, how do I pour out my soul without dripping in drama on a blog that doesn't have clear parameters with an unknown audience? How do I balance the fun, this-is-the-cute-kids blogs with the deeper ones that feed and energize me?
Yes. That's my pondering for the next few days.
All thoughts appreciated. :)

I love all your blogs.....happy, sad, up, down, goofy, heart-wrenching....it makes no difference. I know a number of my friends love reading them as well. So, write what you feel. We are reading and loving it. Rejoicing in your good times; feeling your anguish in the not-so-good-times. Simply - WE CARE.
