The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think.
-Edwin Schlossberg
This is what makes me want to write, what drives me. I realize that I am not the most eloquent writer, nor the most experienced or world-travelled, but I do believe that I am unique, as we all are, and I know that even in the midst of our 'uniqueness', there's so much to learn from each other. I love a connectedness (is that even a word?) of this blogland, and have most certainly jumped in whole-heartedly because of the connections- the feeling of not being completely alone in this world, and the fact that maybe, just maybe, someone else has felt how I do at some point in time, even if they do live in Timbucktoo(not sure about that one, either. ;))
I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you. Thank you to those who read and share, because it really does mean a lot to me. I may never get to write a book- this may be it for me, and that would be a-ok because I really like this little community. I like reading your stories, seeing photos of your kids or the projects that you are working on. I enjoy asking questions, trying to figure this life out, and actually hearing what others have to say- it may give me more to think about, but I think that is a blessing, despite the fact that I have to think more. ;)
