This is an Experiment

It is so easy while keeping a blog to worry about what others will think when they read your posts & whether or not you'll get any comments. Because of this, I tend to filter many of the things I would like to put on my blog, nervous that others won't find it interesting.  What I have reminded myself, however, is that this is for me - not for everyone else.  This is the only way I've ever been able to keep a journal.  I want to use this blog as a means of expressing my truest feelings, sharing recipes & projects I've done, sharing family memories, contemplating, setting goals, experimenting, sharing the mundane everyday things in life. This, if I can keep it up, is intended for my family - my children, anyone who might possibly find it interesting, but most especially for me - a way to one day look back on my life when I'm an old woman & see how I've lived, how I became the woman I will one day be.
