Blogging is
cheaper than going to a psychiatrist. As frustrations seep through your fingers
onto the keyboard, a certain sense of peace arrives.
Mine started as
a well-why-not? and wouldn’t it be a good way to warm up for the day’s writing.
My blog breastisyettocome.blogspot.fr helped me deal with--and at times even enjoy--my cancer, although not having had the experience would have be preferable. Rick is trying to turn it into a Kindle book that we will offer at no or minimal cost with any proceeds to go to the cancer research. We are about 40% close to finishing, but we’ve so many other deadlines to take care off, that this is taking a back seat.
Blogging is also a way to share the good things with friends who are not nearby. The only downside, is that when you tell them something they say, “Oh, I read that on your blog.” Makes me more of a listener to them than a talker at them.
Blogs can lead
to an ahhhhh moment. About an hour after I posted my Happy Birthday (below)
blog, a friend (with one of the most soothing speaking voices ever) saw me at
the marché “Your daughter is really beautiful,” she said.
Then there are
people who when I say or do something say, “Put this on your blog” or “Have I a
blog for you.”
My housemate http://viewsfromeverywhere.blogspot.ch
and husband http://lovinglifeineurope.blogspot.fr/
both blog. It keeps me in touch whether or not we are in the same place. In
fact I can be in the same house with one or the other and check their blogs
with a sense of disappointment when they haven’t written anything.
There are some
rules I follow in blogging. I don’t want to reveal anything too personal
without checking with the person. Photos of people who don’t want them posted
are a no-no.
On the other
hand there are blogs I love such as (not a complete list of those that I check
regularly) and those below.my blog as well. Take a peek...

It may be inactive now, but some of the
ideas of kid raising are great.
