Posting 96
Everytime I get a chance to read up on 24hrmama's blog, it inspires me to write. Although I subscribe to her zine, which is ending with the next issue (so sad, but I totally understand) I really feel like I know her. I am actually 2 years behind her current postings but it works great since her kids are about the same age then as mine are now. As I've said before, whiney and complain-y blogs with the sprinkling of greatness now and then are my absolute favorite. So honest and so real life. You can tell that she doesn't give a FF what anyone thinks of what she has to say, she posted her blog address in her zine for all to see and for all to read. I'm amazed. I only give out this address to family and friends who I know can handle it, who I don't mind sharing this much with. I think that if I advertised the address to anyone, I would really feel like I would have to edit what I wrote. And that is really not the reason why I started it. In the beginning, it was all gratitude and this and that with the underlying fear of how sick dad was. It has evolved into a wonderful touchstone and timeline. I am really shocked that everyone does not have a blog to go to. My artist journal helps with subconscious stuff and creative stuff. This blog helps me with the details. Although I hardly ever go back and revisit old posts. It is too hard. Even the happy ones are too raw to go back to. Onward and upward.
