Awhile ago, on a flight to Chicago, I met a friendly Jewish couple. I enjoyed visiting with them and learning about their family of one child and one grandchild. They were very fascinated with the large family I come from….my parents have 45 grandchildren and 44 great-grandchildren. The husband told me that I needed to write a book about my BIG family because there were fabulous stories waiting to be told. I told him that I wasn’t a writer, but he insisted that anyone can write if they consistently write down thoughts and ideas for one hour a day. I’m not convinced of that, but I do think writing down thoughts and recording events is important to do. To me, blogging is less daunting and I like the fact that you can easily add or subtract from a blog anytime plus it is acceptable and even popular to record random thoughts whenever you feel so inclined. So I may not be comfortable with writing a book, but I can express myself on my blog. Hooray, for blogging!
