Why do I Blog?

When I first started to seriously think about writing, I was stumped on what to write. There are so many subjects to pick from. I knew I wanted something that would grab the reader's attention. I was having a problem focusing on just one. Then one evening my husband Pete asked me a question, "Do you know what would be a great subject to write about?" "What's that?", I asked. "Us. How we get along with each other, and yet we are opposites." Wow, did that strike a cord. That was enough to keep me in a thinking mode for a bit.

So I figured that if I wanted to be a writer-I needed to write. I've always been big on reading, however I knew I needed to get into the habit of writing on a regular basis. Not only did I need to write - I had to let others "see me". Blogging would be a great way to write and get my thoughts out where others have a chance to see them. I explained this and other details to my husband on what I am hoping to accomplish in writing my "Food for Thought" blog and my main goal of writing a book that will in some way inspire people to improve their thoughts and create a life they want - to be happier. Ideas started flowing from him and I wrote every one of them down. He is a great encourager and support to me. Soon I will be writing about relationships (thank you Pete). Currently I am in the process of organizing them.

Please don't think that the only subject will be relationships- ask any of my kids, my husband or friends...I've got opinions and thoughts on pretty much everything! ;)
