Anything that gives an excuse to use a superior tone has to be worthwhile. ;-)MamaOlivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917138266127672566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-85304209919616124092013-01-07T16:11:45.005+00:002013-01-07T16:11:45.005+00:00Some other reasons to blog (my reasons):

If someone claims: "Oh, I didn't know that about you", I can respond with a superior tone: "It's been on my blog fairly often" while thinking: "If you cared, you'd be reading." :-)<br /><br />* To keep track of my life's events, no matter how boring. It's already come in handy to have a journal/diary/blog throughout the years. Many times I've gone back and found information that I needed/wanted.<br /><br />* To clear my head... This is the same reason I used to write poetry -- for me, writing is cathartic. In the same way you might feel better after venting to a good friend or spouse, I feel better after venting to my journal/blog, even if no one ever reads it.Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358496556865231547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-36174782656560151042013-01-07T16:07:56.081+00:002013-01-07T16:07:56.081+00:00Introspection is a handy tool, as long as it's...Introspection is a handy tool, as long as it's kept in moderation. ;-)<br /><br />Having known you for [amount removed] years, I do find it oddly out-of-character for you (even subconsciously) to seek affirmation or validation. Perhaps more than anyone I've known, you've <i>always</i> struck me as someone completely secure.<br /><br />Principled/honest are also words I'd definitely ascribe to you, again perhaps more than anyone I know. Smart? Definitely. <br /><br />Funny? Humor is a difficult thing to convey in the written word; how many times have I written something that I thought was funny and my readers took it seriously? :-)Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358496556865231547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5508637675893821519.post-27046682512618990522013-01-07T13:40:41.587+00:002013-01-07T13:40:41.587+00:00Thanks, Carolyn.
