I read my friend's blog a couple weeks ago about fading fast with blogging and I could really relate - but it makes me so sad. I truly love reading what everyone is up to and their thoughts on various topics. I've shed many tears while reading posts and, on MANY occasions, felt that confirmation that I'm not as weird as I thought because someone else is going through the exact same thing as me. I've also had moments of feeling motivated to do better, be better, act better, THINK better. So, the reading part of blogging is easy for me; it's the posting that doesn't come natural. I'm reserved by nature and have to fight to come out of my shell. I'm so much more content to be the listener in a friendship. It's comfortable for me. But, I recognize listeners are boring. So, to force me out of my shell, I've made a goal to not only blog more but actually blog about feelings and thoughts more.
Blog #1 - I'm terrified for when Andrew goes back to work. I've grown to rely on him SO much over the last 9 months (Yes - it's been 9 months!) I've been the beneficiary of more "me time" than at any other time in my life since Ally was born. I hope it'll be an easy transition when I lose my "mother's helper."
I'm sure my next post will be - "I can't wait for Andrew to go back to work!" :-)

Glad to see you post again. It is sometimes a little intimidating to share our feelings with others. There have been some posts that I have deleted because I needed to get my feelings out but was too embarrassed to share.
But, like you I love reading other peoples blogs. I don't feel so isolated and strange.
I'm so glad I've gotten to be able to know you so much better this year - from blogging, Tuesday night gymnastics and book group. I love your quiet wisdom and really appreciate your listening ear!!!! (Seems I always have something to say.)
I share your's and Lara's and Kari Ann's feelings about blogging. It doesn't come natural for me to share my feelings. I tend to keep a lot to myself. But I have had fun learning about other people by reading their blogs, including your's! So I'm glad you are keeping it up. I will keep trudging along with you!
I love reading your blog because it helps me get to know you better. My short time in WA only left me wanting to know more about you. I look forward to continuing our friendship through more frequent blog posts :)
