Blog a day

Day 23: Why do you blog? We all blog for different reasons and would love to know why you blog

Initially I began blogging because I wanted to practice keeping a journal.  Artists will frequently journal to identify feelings or patterns of emotion which may trigger inspiration for an artistic creation.  I was seeking such inspiration.  

Eventually it became a way for me to manage stress.  While this is truly a public venue, it still felt like a safe place for me to express my observations about the events, places, and people I encountered throughout my daily life.  

It was never my intention that anyone would read my blather.  I mean, what do I have to say that's interesting?  Not much.  

Little did I know I would discover a subterranean culture of people just-like-me, living all over the world, who are witty, talented and inspirational.  The blog link-ups and blog projects have become some of my most-looked-forward-to entertainment.  I love reading and viewing what others have to say much more than I enjoy creating my own post.  However, blogging has now become part of my life and my personality.  It has become the art form I had been initially seeking. (I'm still learning...)
