Thankful Thursday #1

One of my goals with the new year is to do better with blogging. Last year my sister was super faithful doing Thankful Thursday posts. My Goal is to follow her example, and post about something I am thankful for each Thursday.

Today I am thankful for blogging. I know that journaling is so important. I know that we have been commanded to keep a record of our lives, but I am terrible at keeping a journal! I always have been. Blogging has provided a way for me to keep track of the events in my life, and pictures, in a very simple way. It also gives me a way to keep in touch with friends and family who live far away. I feel like I know my friends kids, even if I have never met them, because I follow their lives on blogs.

I still haven't made my blog books for 2009 or 2010, but I LOVE my book from 2008. Its a journal/scrapbook combined.




I may not have a blog that hundreds of people follow and comment on, but I am okay with that. That was never the purpose for my blog. My blog gives me an outlet for my thoughts. It records my personal history, and it helps me to look at events in my life in a different way. I am thankful for blogging!

Aren't blogs the greatest things? I love them for pretty much all the same reasons you do. A great thing to be thankful for, for sure. And yay for Thankful Thursdays!!! :)
