I appreciate the positive, upbeat nature of your blog. And I've missed reading it of late. It sounds like lots of us might be dealing with economic fallout, and I hope you pass quickly through these difficulties. I also love your blog's tone, and the beauty you describe in your life. It often makes me want to take flight myself and come for a visit. My thoughts are with you, CGF. xoxo

A blog is like a window in your house. People can look in and get a glimpse of your living room, but it's only one room of the house.

I love the glimpses you give :)

This is just what I have been going through the past few days: Busy, cross, and trying to keep it together, and since my family and in laws and friends read my blog, I cannot write "AAARGH! Throw all children out on highway and run away to Tahiti!"

Oh, and Sean says he is REALLY going to stop smoking this time. Kill me now!

But I figure that writing about the good things really is therapeutic. It makes me so appreciate what I have. The bad stuff? That's for calling a girlfriend and ranting for ten minutes. You feel better, it blows over, and you don't have this permanent written reminder of angst and torment!

I never really got into journaling until I started the blog. Somehow, knowing it's open to the masses makes me think twice and speak with a certain amount of clarity, and definitely proofread before I post a rant. And yes, the support is priceless!

I really do enjoy reading your blog! I would still love reading it if you were to share all of the sides of life too though. I like the way you write.

Sometimes it is hard to find that balance! I thik that you really have a talent to see all of the positive in your life.

Remember, at the end of the day, it's your blog and you write how you wish.

I agree with you about the positives of NOT writing about the 'down side' of every day life.

Like you I have focused on the positive things to write about - mostly - and it sure does make you examine what there is to be thankful for!

And the black hair(s) - there will be more of them at some stage! Deal with it!

i found that when I kept a journal i only wrote of the big things, good and bad. i find that with the blog i am better about taking time to record the smaller things, and focus more on the good. the bad things, because they are written for public consumption, get processed differently through the blog, and I think that's helpful. rather than "oh woe is me my life sucks" that I might fall into in a journal, i process through it on a blog, and get support in the meantime
