Today's post is about my blog and what it means to me. I know I don't have many readers, so in general, the reason for this blog is more about me. I don't really write FOR my readers.. but I kinda do, but I don't, but I do....
See, I first started this blog to work on my writing skills- make my writing a concise, clear communication. It was about the wordsmithing.
It has kinda morphed some since then. Sure, I'm still practicing writing. But I also use this space to work out stuff in my head. Things I see in the news, things I live in my life, issues I'm processing. This is a kind of therapy for me. As such, I've made a couple rules for myself:
1- Never go back and edit a post once it's published. I've only done that once.. maybe twice.
2- Never take down a post once it's up. I've had to do that recently, and I apologize for having to take it down, but it was kinda necessary.

3- Thumper rule: if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all. My variation: if it's unkind, I don't say it. And if it's a drama-issue, I try to include compassion, acknowledging the struggles felt on all sides.
Sometimes I write about issues, sometimes I write about people... because this world is full of people. My life is made of people. Sometimes they end up in my blog. Dear sweet SIL who scraped the snow and ice off my car one Christmas! When I helped my parents' darling neighbor lady with her car. Ex-boyfriends and ex-husbands.
A situation has come up recently that I now have to censor some of those things. To be on the safe side, I may not be posting here for a while. I'll have to find another, more private way to write and process my life.
I know this is vague- it kinda has to be, and I apologize, especially to those who have been with me from the very beginning.
Farewell. I wish you all the best!
