Those fateful words….

“I’ve been reading your blog…”

There they were. Right in the e-mail I received and had been waiting to receive. And as I read it I found those few words that reminded me of something I almost forgot.

Hey! That’s right, I have a blog.

Oh wait, it’s a neglected blog…. What does that say about me? And what was it I wrote about?

OK, I haven’t really forgotten it. I’ve just been undecided about what to do with it. My original desire was to have a place to write my little essays and rants that I got so much out of in another day and time, and that everyone encouraged me to return to. But here I am visible, known as me, and worse…my kids read it.

And even that wasn’t the end of it - I have many writing projects that can meet the inspection of everyone, but it’s also no real surprise that the last entry was the day after I got my new camera. I have been very active on Flickr, though it seems that I can’t write like I want to on there.

But what to do about this place? A photo blog? I more relevant essay spot? A place just to vent for the world to see? Or just like it was becoming - a place for me to create with words - something that can tap into the power of imagination and create more vivid images than anything I can put on film?

Well, I also don’t have to say anything huge and powerful either. I can just write about the reminder that I have a blog. You know, like I just did…
