Gentle reader (all three of you), I have a declaration to make about this blog. For some time I have been in a quandry as to how to narrate this blog and family journal. Do I pour out my dark days, celebrate the good ones, do both? Who am I speaking to? (Again, all three of you, but someday this will be my life's record. Kinda important.) So I have come to the conclusion that I am writing to celebrate life. I'll include the dark days if I want to. I won't if I don't. If this blog is too sunshiny for you, that's fine. Don't read it. There is so much to celebrate. I am going to celebrate it, FREELY, here.

It is your own journal and a way to keep track of what goes on in these crazy, busy years....You can say whatever you want! Be cheery or down, we know life isn't perfect all the time. I just love hearing what you guys are up to! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Michelle, you are such a darling! I love reading your blog. I have struggled with the same thing on on my own blog - how far do I go? How much do I share? For example, I wrote about my miscarriage last year, and I received SO much support from it. It was a tough decision, but in the end I was so glad that I did because I really needed that love and support from other mom's like me.
ReplyDeleteThis is the same thing that has happened over and over. I am always surprised when I give in and write about the 'bad' - I seem to get way more comments from people on those posts.
Another reason why I write about those days is because I want to have that record for my children, especially my daughter, when they are parents. I wish so bad I had this kind of record from my mom. It would be so helpful! Also, I LOVE going back and reading those tough 'bad' posts. Now when I read them I laugh pretty hard. Sometimes I just can't believe this stuff happens to me, and I really don't wanna forget it!
Did you like that travel log? I guess what I'm saying is I love reading about your life! I miss you guys. You're such a good friend!
I agree with the other commenters-- you do what YOU need to do for your purposes. On the other hand, I agree that being able to read the hard things about your past, or someone else's life, can help put things in perspective and help make connections between people. In the end, regardless of what you tell, I will still be one of your three readers.
ReplyDeleteHey count me in on reading your blog! I've very much enjoyed reading about your family's life! I about died when I saw you with dark hair because I was like "I didn't think it was possible for Michelle to get more beautiful!!" You are stunning and your whole family are an incredible example to me. I was I could catch up with you because I have SO MUCH to tell you! :) I love and miss you guys!!
ReplyDeleteI honestly find your blog very refreshing. It really lives up to its name in finding the magic out of the ordinary. I read it and I think, yeah, it really is amazing to watch a child learn. It has helped me to just enjoy the now. Thank you.
