This is my first post.
I am mainly trying to see if I can get on my blog.
I was thinking about the decline in communication efforts. When I was first married I wrote letters to my parents, sisters, and friends every week. I always looked forward to the mail because they always answered in kind. I also kept a pretty faithful journal. Scrapbooking became big as we tried to record our lives through pictures.
Next emailing was a quicker way to write.
Blogging seemed to be the next great leap and I have enjoyed searching through friends sites to see what they had to say. But lately even my most regular bloggers have been tossed aside in favor of the quick, one liners of facebook.
I think we are substituting access for intimacy and quantity for quality. It takes effort, time, thought, and vulnerability to actually write your thoughts.
Not to mention grammar and punctuation skills.
So I am trying to reconnect
With myself
my family
my friends
Although I am not sure I am ready to tell anyone this thing exists.
Hopefully soon I will find a style,So far...I'm coming up Empty.
