Why Write?

Here as I write my first blog post, I ponder the everlasting question: "Why?" Why write? And more importantly, why blog? Why not just keep a personal journal as generations of women did before me? Why let others in on my thoughts? And then again, why not?

Some guy named Don Delillo said, "Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us." That, and much more, in my opinion. Writing helps me make sense of the plethora of thoughts tumbling 'round in my head from the moment I awake until, sometimes, long after I should be asleep.

Perhaps someday my daughter will want to read her mother's thoughts and musings from years past, maybe as a way to help her along on her trek. And then again, she might not.

I hope you find this blog somewhat enjoyable or, at the very least, not boring. Please leave your comments. After all, aren't we all learning life?
