Dipping back in?

-

 It has been quite a while. My life and ways I have thought about things have changed quite a bit.  Somehow instant gratification has become the thing. Instagram and FB took over for a while. Lately, I find myself bored with those things.  I have decided if writing in a book or returning to blogging is more satisfying.  I think if I am true.  Blogging should be for me and not for likes.  I am curious if this venue creates a different sense than a pen to paper does. For now, I am just dipping back.

Truth and Consequence

I'm almost took that last post down.  It sounds so mean-spirited.  What kind of person says those things?  Well, besides me and teenagers?  I started this blog as an attempt to present another side to myself and maybe my kids.  It also feels fun to play with font/colors, say immediate things and add silly pictures.   Every time I read my journal, I think no one would believe that is me. It is  so pondering, meditative and serious.  Heavens, they might think I was some type of serious-spiritual pioneer.  Which of course, I am not.  It clearly didn't show all of me.   But, I also promised myself I wouldn't run from the ugly parts.  It just makes me feel kind of lame when I read other mother-type blogs.  They seem to rejoice in the journey, hug and kiss their young ones,  have homes knit with love and beauty, present beautiful photos of an idyllic world....and so on.  Me?  I am holding true to my promise that this venue will not run away from the bitter, sarcastic, immature,
