This morning at approximately 3:45 a.m. I began writing emails. My children and siblings and brother-in-law all recipients. I had nothing to blog about in my sleep-deprivation, so after boring those loved ones I began rereading what I had written.
The comments left by readers? I do read them and respond, but I do not ever know if my responses get to the reader as I don’t know who is responding most of the time by the anonymous labels. That’s okay, I just wanted to reassure you that I do notice. All of this also brought to mind my prior technique of detailing travel.
When I would go somewhere of note outside of this state, (think Europe) I would write an email to friends and family, always with the silly and inane observations a person can experience when they get out of the comfort zone. My mother would laugh and enjoy them so much that I always pictured writing to her. Even when I started this blog – ? – not sure when now – I imagined writing to her. Thus, I have kept the audience pretty limited and not blasted it on social media.
Hah! Even though I have nothing to say, apparently I do! On to my third cup of coffee to keep these amazing creative juices flowing.
