Confession #1: I'm embarrassed to blog
This blog, as I'm writing now, has so many privacy settings set up that I think even a computer hacker would have trouble accessing it.
Well, maybe that's not true… but I know with some certainty that no one will read this until I change a few things.
I've had blogs before, and I've enjoyed blogging. But there are downsides… I've felt the nervousness of what people might think of what I have to say. I've put too much stock into how many comments or views a post has received. I've been envious of other friends with blogs and how people like what they have to say. Not to mention one of my unmet New Years Resolutions in the earlier 2010's was to blog a certain amount each month… and I can tell you that didn't happen.
So I'm slightly reticent to start again.
I'm not writing because I think a lot of people will read what I say.
I'm not writing because I want to be praised.
I'm not writing to meet a personal standard and thus boost my self esteem.
I'm writing because I think things. And it's helpful for me to put those thoughts into words. I'm learning so much right now about God and people and speech pathology and life in general, and to be honest, I'm concerned that I'll forget the process.
It's my hope that these words will be helpful to you, as they're helpful to me.
Only you can't read this (see previous comment on privacy settings).
Maybe, just maybe, I'll change that.
