I am having a really hard day. I can't really elaborate. It would involve telling you somebody else's story, and I'm not at liberty to tell. So, I was SO PUMPED when I went to check out Jen's blog (at 3 Little Monkeys) and found this new blog hop. If you go to Confessions of A Working Mom, you can join in!
The (Un)Experienced Mom and Confessions of A Working Mom will be collaborating each week to come up with a question...and we'll be asked to share our Top 3 answers!
This week:
What are the Top 3 reasons why you blog?
- I love to connect with other people. One of my favorite activities is meeting my girlfriends at the coffee shop, and chatting over a cup of coffee. This gives me the opportunity to meet you, and hear your stories. I love to see how we are all the same in some ways, and to hear how different we are in other ways. I learn so much from reading about you.
- I love to write. I love to tell my stories, and I sure have a captive audience when you come visit me! :) I tried Facebook, and had an unfortunate incident I don't care to recall, but it didn't work for me, anyhow...I am way too long-winded! lol I like to write a few paragraphs, not a few sentences (as if you didn't notice)! That's how I talk, too...that's why I speak at women's retreats...I have a captive audience there - usually for an hour or more! :)
- I have an "inner circle" of bloggy friends that seems to be growing. You know who you are! We check in on each other on a regular basis - daily, every other day, weekly. And that circle seems to be growing. I didn't think I'd really develop bloggy buddy friendships. After all, they're "virtual" friendships, right? The joke was on me - I truly care about these women. I think about them when I'm not on-line (like when I was purchasing my camera, about their moving escapades, those that live across the border - both state and country, those I'll meet soon - the list goes on and on). This reason is the most surprising to me, but the sweetest. This is the reason I keep coming back - to see if you've left me a comment yet! (Your comments really DO make my day!)
Thanks for the great blog hop! What a blast! I hope next week's is just as fun!

hi pennie,
i love reading your blog and like that i stumbled upon it by accident. you know they say there are never any accidents in life. well, keep writing your paragraphs so that i can keep reading. sorry you had a bad.
Isn't blogging great!?! I never thought I would make bloggy friends either and now some of my best in real life friends I met through blogging!!
Thank you for the comment! I also love the friends that I keep in my computer. ;-)
I love blogging and reading blogs, but I don't feel like I have a lot to say most of the time. I just can't seem to give it up though.
I am glad that I found your blog.
I'm so excited you played along... and that T3T gave you reason to smile today. I guess that could have been one of my reasons for blogging, too; even when I'm feeling down, ladies like you cheer me right back up!
