Why do I blog?
Is it for you?
Is it for me?
What do I put on here?
Do I write what I want you to read?
Do I write what's going on inside my head?
Is this my journal?
Is this my travel log of my daily ongoings?
Is this a picture gallary for my family and friends?
I know I'm private but I still feel so public...
Do I share my weaknesses?
Do I fake my strengths?
Do I just post and let you decide?
But then that brings me back to...
But am I posting for you?
Or for me?
Why do you blog?

to be honest, I blog to blog. Sometimes it's for me and sometimes its for others. Sometimes, it's just a great excuse to take pictures and not have to scrapbook them! The thing is I love reading blogs. It's therapeutic to read the struggles and triumphs of others and know we are not alone or doing by ourself!
I don't know who you blog for. But I enjoy you blog, no matter the motive ;)
I know exactly what you mean. That is why I stopped blogging, it took too much time and I only felt comfortable opening it up to a few people. I am focusing more on my scrapbooking. So if you want to know more about me and my family, you have to come visit and look at the scrapbooks!
I blog because I hope someone out there actually cares. I blog because it makes me feel important,"yeah, I have a blog". I blog to not go completely crazy. (is it wierd that I wanted to cite that quote?)
Hey Laurie,
I feel like it has bee forever! I feel the same way? do I go private so i can be real? or stay public and just post the "good" stuff? sometimes blogging can be stressful! I enjoy reading your blog! blog what you want and what makes you happy! i started a private blog just for me ! i will send you a invite!
I don't have my own blog, just a shared family blog... but I still want to add my two cents. I absolutely LOVE your blog!!! I love your blog because we live so far apart and for the first time in at least 10 years I feel like I am apart of your life again! I love seeing pictures of you and your family. I love hearing about your sucesses and your trials! It makes me feel motivated to be a better person every time I come to visit (even if it has to be via blogging)! Luv Ya!
I blog to share my life. These are things I want to remember about my life so I am preserving it for me (and my family) and sharing it with my friends and family.
I blog because it's fun. I like sharing our lives with our family who lives away from us all over the world. Sometimes I have things to say and sometimes I don't. I figure that if people like me they'll read and if they don't, oh well...
Good question! I started blogging shortly after my mother in law passed away. I realized that there isn't always a tomorrow. When someone dies, all of their memories die with them unless they record them somewhere. I have about a dozen half finished journals, so I figured that probably wasn't the best way for me.
I blog so my kids will have a record of some of my thoughts and experiences and memories of them. I am going to put my blog into a hard bound book (Heritage Makers) every year.
BUT, I also blog to keep in touch with my friends and family.
I blog so when I am having a bad day, I can look back and all of my posts and appreciate my life as a whole.
And sometimes I blog for the people that read my blog. :-) I did that yesterday actually and then it made me laugh. This girl comes to blog everyday at least twice. The funny thing is that I don't know her. She is a friend of Jason's exwife. At first I thought it was strange, but now I kind of like her. She doesn't know that I know she visits so often. Yesrday I realized I hadn't posted for almost a week. I noticed she had come by 3 times yesrday and I thought to myself, "Oh, Lisa Marie must be getting bored. I really should post something new for her." Then I started laughing at myself, but put up a quick post anyway. :-)
I'm glad you post. You inspire me!
I'm glad you blog, for whatever reason! :)
I blog to keep family and friends updated and to have some semblance of an up-to-date family history. (Plus, I really enjoy it!) I recently turned my 2007 entries into an AWESOME hard-bound volume through blurb.com and plan to do that each year. Even if most things don't get scrapbooked, a good record is there. And I love being able to so easily update people like my mom on our goings-on. It's a good feeling.
