As you can see I have been contemplating the way I use my time and wondering if this blog is taking too much of my time. As I thought about the benefits of my blog, I realize there are many.
It helps me gain perspective on the happenings of our busy family. I am better able to find humor and see the big picture. This helps me to overreact less over the realatively small things when considering the "big picture".
I am recording things from our everyday life that serve as a family journal for all of us. I know I will treasure these records in my older age.
Blogging also gives me an opportunity to share stories and pictures with my friends and family.
Reading others' blogs helps me to know them better, and gain insight into who they are that I might not get otherwise in casual relationships. And I can learn things vicariously so I don't have to experience EVERYTHING for myself.
And finally, as Paul would say: It's cheaper than therapy!
So, fellow bloggers, BLOG ON!!!

Amen!
It really is therapeutic though, isn't it? I wonder how I ever got along without a blog... :)
I'm right there with you Brooke! I love the therapy it serves me. It's also doing all those other things for me. By the way, someone said at the end of the year I can have it published into a book for $35. Is that true?
I heard the same thing from my niece. I am thinking "instant journal"! I wonder if you can pick and choose which blogs. I may not want everyting. I may decide to try to do it myself, might be cheaper anyway. I'll have to look into it.
