As I was reading through some of my niece's past entries on herblog, I came across something she said that rang so true for me. She wrote,
"I always thought that blogs were just a way for pretentious people to feed their already overblown egos, but it turns out they are just regular pages where people can post about life, opinions good or bad, or share some photos."
Boy, that was me! What she said confirmed part of the reason why I was too afraid to start blogging. I might seem too full of myself.....it might look like I was making it all about me. Now I know that my past perceptions were a bit distorted. Oh sure, I've seen some blogs and.....well.....they are kinda making it all about them. But, don't we all do that sometimes? As I continue further on my blogging journey by putting one foot in front of the other, I am slowly discovering that it doesn't have to be like that. Blogs can be a great place to share and grow and learn.

Yeah that was a hard one for me, too, to get over! But, as you said, it is a great place to learn and grow. It has helped me grow in just these last two months of blogging - with my writing confidence, and even in speaking. I am more confident that I will have the ability to pull the words I need to, especially as my posts become more spontaneous (boy you should have seen how many times I edited my blog entries at first!)
Thanks for the comments. Patiently awaiting your next post ;)
(I'm not addicted...I promise!)
