I want to share what I’m thinking or doing that others might find interesting. Sometimes I write about our travels so that in the future I can refer back to what we have done and where we went. I’m starting to write down the prices that we spend so that in the future, I will see what changes have occurred. I like to write about things that I’m doing just to keep the memory alive.
One of the things that inspired me was reading other people’s blogs. The two blogs that I have found extremely fascinating are Bedlam Farm Journal by Jon Katz and Full Moon Fiber Art by Maria Wulf.
In June I read The Story of Rose: A Man and His Dog by Jon Katz. When I find a book I like, I’m usually curious about the author so I did some research. Then I found Jon Katz’s blog and I’m fascinated with his photography and his stories. From there, I was connected to his wife’s blog and since I’m a knitter and a spinner, I was intrigued by her blog. I don’t have to agree with everything they say but I love seeing life from their point of view. I feel as if they are my friends (even though they have no clue who I am) and that they are my neighbors (even though I don’t live anywhere near them).
I look forward to their posts and how interesting they are. That is when I realized I wanted the same freedom. It was time to move away from my “Monday through Friday” educational posts. I wanted to write for the enjoyment of writing. I wanted to share things that interested me and even add my own photos that I like.
I was going to write them a note about this but decided I would put it in a blog post because I tend to be too wordy. I feel like I “know” them since they have become a part of my daily life. I added their blog to Feedly.com so I don’t miss any updates to their blogs and I look forward to their new posts.
Thank you Jon and Maria for helping me feel free to write for the joy of writing and sharing!
