What's It All About?

You may be wondering what blogging is all about. I suppose everyone's got there own answer, but to me, it's about community. It's about family. And it's about sharing. For instance, lately I've been writing to two of my favorite blogs: Chilton Chats, and Marian and Phil, Inc.. Through blogs, I am able to let my neighbors, my family, and my friends know what's going on in my world, and in the world around me.

In the old days, people used the fire pit to send up smoke signals. Today, we have blogs that serve the same purpose! We can alert neighbors of upcoming events, and encourage community by sharing the experience of these events. We can inform family of news that's timely, and show slides of loved ones far away. All of these help us to stay connected to the people and places that hold meaning for us. This is all the more important NOW, for we live in a time and in a world that changes so fast, and can feel so confusing.

Blogging is certainly not a perfect tool - but it is a fun one! Hope you've been enjoying this blog, and your own ones too.
