Here I Go, Jumping On the Blogwagon!

I have often wondered why I laid down my love of writing. As a young single person, I loved to journal. I loved to write about anything and always imagined myself as a writer. I was an English Major in college and Journalism was my minor for a while until I fell in love with teaching.

I'm sure I laid down the urge to write when I took up the challenge to become an active missionary and an adventurer traversing through distant lands. Then when I became a wife and a mother to 9 amazingly wonderful little people, I guess I just knew I wouldn't have the time.

Yet, here I am leaping onto the Blogwagon. What a wonderful invention - the blog! Imagine, if our ancestors had been able to hop on this wagon, I bet we all would probably have wonderful accounts of their life stories and their deepest thoughts and feelings. I believe we would probably have gained courage from their accounts as well as wisdom from their lessons. We probably would feel more of a family bond with our ancestors, too and we would have a wonderful sense of belonging. Can you imagine the affect this could have on our society, if everyone had a strong family bond and an appreciation for ourselves and our heritage?
