blogging...I think I am addicted

I think I am in trouble.
I think I am addicted to blogging.
I realised this the other day as I was wondering around the house pretending to do housework.
I caught myself looking at things and coming up with ideas to blog about.
I remember looking at a plate thinking what application I could find, then looking at the washing and realising I had at least 20 blog posts I could write about in relation to that!
I also noticed this change when I caught myself several times this week wishing I had a camera on me to capture a moment lost so I could record it on this blog.
I find that now that I have started expressing some of my feelings and being a little bit brave with some opinions that my mind wants to spew forth information and thoughts all the time.
I am finding it very therapeutic getting things out and wonder why I did not do this sooner!
I have kept a journal for a long time and stopped several years ago because finding the time was difficult..I was always too tired at night to write but blogging seems to work for me.
Of course not everyone is interested in my random thoughts and opinions and that is fine...some people might even really dislike it but I will keep going, sharing little adventures our family has and things that I like.
So after discovering this new addiction...what am I going to do about it...nothing! I am going to feed it but doing it more and more...because I am happy that I have found something that I like to do. I don't have to be good at it, or perfect at it. The important thing is that I am giving it a try.
If you don't have a blog, start one, give it a try...you might even like it too!

  1. Writing again (through blogging) changed everything for me. It changed how I viewed everyday activities, it made me more aware of my though processes and the details in my world, I found myself listening to the words of my children and committing them to memory. Everyday activities are framed and processed in a way that they can be translated onto the page. This is the writer's mind at work. It's fun!
