I don’t know why I’ve been feeling the urge to blog–not only do I have enough on my plate with the kids and daily household stuff, I do a lot of writing already: a journal for each of the kids, two baby books to update periodically, my own journal, postings on two Yahoo groups, not to mention simply responding to emails and keeping in touch with family and friends. Plus, I’m not sure what makes me think anything I have to say is worthwhile for anyone to read. I’m just me. And yet, here I am.
Maybe it’s that human desire for contact, that yearning within us to share, to connect, to be acknowledged. Possibly to make a difference in the world in some small way (hopefully a positive one). Simply to affect the world, to leave a mark, to carve into the woodwork of existence, “I was here.”
