So, I've watched "Julie & Julia". I saw the whole blogging thing (though I watched it for the cooking aspect). Just like with Facebook, I was hesitant to join in because I just did not think I have anything interesting to say. Well, if you were to look at my FB postings, you might agree. On some occasions, though, I am quite witty!
Anyhoo, after reading a friend's blog, I decided that blogging is something I need to try. It seems that it can be theraputic...getting your thoughts out there, voicing your view, venting on on life's frustations, etc.. Let's see where this goes...
Right before I decided (on a whim) to create this blog, I was going to email a good friend. I was feeling down and wanted to vent (ok...complain). I know I can email her whenever and she will listen. We are moms, Army wives, and have been stationed at one HORRIBLE post together. I can honestly say that she is more of a sister to me than my own blood sisters. Before I emailed her, I read her blog. There was something in it that made me not want to complain...made my complaints trivial.
In my friend's fairly recent blog, she put it out there. I am SO proud that she did: TAKE ME FOR WHO I AM!
I will admit...my friend can be much to handle, but so can I! There was a time a several years ago that I seriously questioned why in the world I was friends with her. Looking back, I know that I am incredibly fortunate that she never gave up on me. She is honestly a better person than I.
As I continue to have less and less contact with my own sisters, I am so relieved to know that she is there...willing to listen, willing to help, willing to love.
