A blog!!! I love blogs. I love reading the pieces of life that other people share. It's pretty bold, in a way. You share deep (or commonplace) parts of yourself without knowing who is going to read your post, or what they will think of you after reading. It can also be, at other times, easier than face-to-face interaction. You get to think through and edit what you will say before it is posted, and you won't be interrupted or laughed at (that you know of).
But why would I write one? A dear friend of mine once told me that I should, but I laughed. Why would anyone want to read about the things that go on in my head, or in my life? Sure I have something to say, but doesn't everyone? Why should I write it down and put it out there for anyone to see?
Here I am, more than a year later, finally following her advice. This is quite a big step for me, as I do not like to share my thoughts, sometimes not even with the people closest to me. But I think it will be fun and I will learn from it, even if no one reads it. Perhaps my purpose is not to write something that will be read, but simply to write something.
Well, here I go, time to jump in with both feet.
My dear, sweet Mahalia. I am so thankful that you have opened up part of your soul to show us yourself. I love you and am very proud of you. Grandma Bertelsen
