Number Five

Five.

Five is the number of times I have started a blog. That doesn't even include the separate opening entries in each of those blogs that were written, then deleted, and re-written.

Five is how many actual blogs with different web addresses and different titles I have owned.

Including this one.

Will number 5 be the one that I keep?

Yes.

This is the one.

Do you want to know why? Sure you do! I know you want to know why I keep starting over.

Its simple really. Reasons I have started a blog no fewer than 5 times:

1. I feel self-conscious about my writing. I never let anyone read the things I write. Never! It' so personal of a thing to share - something that comes out of my brain, and my heart.

2. I am afraid my life won't be interesting enough for anyone else to read about. And aren't blogs supposed to be shared? And interesting?

3. I don't have a good title. Everyone knows that in order to have a good blog, I have to have a good title. I don't have any cute pun that uses my name. One friend whose last name is Warren, calls her blog Warrenpiece. That's a pretty cool pun! I really need a good title.

4. A couple of times I lost the address of my blog and had to start over. Now they keep track of that for you. How handy. I can't even LOSE my blog.

I really just want to write about myself. Things I think about during the day. Things my kids did. I want it to be my journal - only typed.

So don't expect much please. Just look at this as random thoughts. Random bits of my life, trying to find a place in my memory.

Musings.
