…the more they stay the same. It’s a cliché but so very true to me these days. I’m feeling melancholy, expectant of the future, and generally settled for the first time all at once.
When I first started this blog it was a way to keep friends & family updated on our lives. Then it became more of an outlet for me to write and amuse myself. Then it was more of a record of our milestones that I could print out each year into a book form for my kids. I think that is still what it is although I confess I have not yet had it printed. (Note to self: Get blog printed for 2008 & 2009).
So much changes in our lives constantly and yet our daily routines are so mundane. We eat, play, read, bathe, and sleep. Sometimes we go places, sometimes we stay home. The children grow, they change clothes sizes faster than my credit card can handle, they learn new things, they revert to old comforts, and we all laugh each day.
Even the blog world has changed with the ease of Facebook and Twitter. Once upon a time (like 2 years ago) everyone blogged, you sent your blog address to your friends and they did the same, it was how you communicated. Now you just click a webpage and in brevity see what everyone is up to all at once. I love it. I hate it. I want the glimpse but I also want the details. I miss all the blogs yet I am as guilty for not keeping up the writing as the next guy. I relish the instant feedback you get on Facebook yet despair at the way your post is lost in the wind within hours.
I’m rambling. My thoughts are rambling. I'm talking to you like we were sitting over a cup of coffee with no plans for the rest of the day. I need to get it all organized in one fell swoop. That is one goal that doesn’t change. But I try, I really do. I’ll blog more, that will help.
