Ode to my blog

Ok, so it's not going to be a poetic ode and you should probably be thankful for that. (I can't remember the last time I wrote any poetry- I think this is because as I grow older, I know exactly how much effort, skill and talent it takes to write any poetry of any value or merit, and I've come to conclude that I just don't have it! For me, Writing has just become a functional way of expressing myself as clearly as I possibly can, so I'm understood by my target audience. But I digress!)

It's probably fairly narcissistic, but I was late for dinner last night, and slept later than I should have last night because I was reading my own blog. It was fascinating!

I kind of regret that I don't blog as frequently as I used to, because it was great to reflect on all the things I posted about- little snapshots of what I was feeling at any given time. Things I had all but forgotten about captured for posterity. There are some things I've written about that I couldn't bring myself to verbally tell any other living soul, so I put them here, and I'm really thankful that over the last few years, I've had this medium of expression to help me make sense of everything. I'm also thankful for the snippets and comments that people have cared enough to post up- some of them are hilarious, some of them are thought provoking, a lot of them are both! It's nice to know I'm not alone.

I promised bf that I was going to quit blogging once we got engaged (he was never down with the idea that I couldn't verbally communicate some things to him), but I think I shall renege! I like my blog too much =)
