Why blog?

Why Blog? Why not?

I’ve delayed jumping into blogging but for no reason. So, why blog?  

Blogging is a way for me to process. I like journaling and writing but do very little of it.

As one friend said, blogging (twittering, etc.) doesn’t create community but it can foster it. We are a fragmented and disjointed society as it is. Blogging is one way to build some bridges and connections with those who care to check in occasionally.

Blogging is a way to pass along the best of what I read, think, and observe, perhaps adding a little beauty or light to our paths.

By blogging I don’t know that I will say much that is profound but I may serve as a marker toward someone who does.  The Blogroll links (to the right)  are often a source of stimulating thought for me and I suggest you occasionally check them out. I don’t agree with all they say but I learn from them.

We’re all on a journey.  Blogging is one small way at this moment in time to share that journey with others. We may experience a bit more of life’s richness along the way.  That is my prayer for you.

Oh, yea, one more reason to blog.  My dad (born in 1937) is now on Facebook. If I don’t blog now, he may beat me to it!
