Thoughts on Blogging

When I started this family blog, I had several goals:

~ to help family and friends who live throughout the country stay current with family events.

~ to remind myself (and others) to look for the fun in everyday events.

~ to find a creative outlet for myself that would also somehow have meaning to others.

After the inital burst of blogging inspiration, I have begun to feel a bit like the person who carries on conversations with no one but themselves. I have no idea if anyone is actually reading my posts or if what I post is interesting to anyone but me.

I read somewhere that there are several kinds of blogging love languages. The two that apply to most people are as follows:

1. There are those who read the blog and leave comments and feedback on the posts regularly.

2. There are those who lurk, meaning they read the blog posts but never comment so the blogger doesn't know they were there.

I am usually a lurker. I read my friend's blogs but I don't post comments very often. Perhaps there are other lurkers out there who read my blog but never let me know that they have stopped by.

I would like to ask anyone who reads this post to leave a comment, just so I know that someone other than me actually reads my blog. Thank you!
