(me leaving megan's wedding ceremony & on my way to the reception last May)Blogging has inspired me in so many ways- this weeks SPT is hard for me because I just don't feel like I can put into word how much I love it & how important it has become to me.
But being the big mouth that I am--- I'm sure I'll find a way.
1.- I'm inspired by these spt's- thanks lelly for reminding me to document myself through photos. It was really hard at first to put pictures of myself out there... I don't know why us women are so hard on ourselves- but we are- I am too- & yes I hate photos of myself. But hey- I'm here, I've got the proof now even if it's not my "best self."
(Christmas morning 07)
(July 4th)2. I feel closer to my family. My extended family read my blog. Some have blogs too. I feel like they are part of our lives now. Even though we are far away & only see each other a couple of times a year- if that- we are involved in each other's day to day lives because of blogging. That's huge for our family & very precious to me.
3. I feel inspired by so many of you personally. No matter what the media says, no matter how bad it seems- this world is full of fantastic women. Women who may be different in many ways, but more importantly are the same where it counts. We are all trying to be the best we can- raise good families, create beauty around us, serve others, put dinner on the table, live within a real budget... it goes on & on. I am amazed at all of you. I am continually buoyed up by your comments & support. I am thrilled to be a part of the blogging world.

this world is full of fantastic women (YOU, for instance!) and the blogosphere has made it so much easier to serve each other.
Excellent... I agree, it is a little hard to put myself out there especially in picture form but I am so thankful I have documented so much of life and more me than I normally would have done. There are many times when sweet blogger comments feel like my only interactions during the day. I have definitely been buoyed up.
I am so glad that you blog Patsy! I always smile when I'm reading your posts :)
