How did we get here?
It's hard to believe, but the blogging all began about a decade ago. Before the era of Facebook, Twitter and the like.
A bunch of us all started blogging, and it became a wonderful way of staying in touch.
The unspoken conceit behind it all, was the thought that the pixels one threw into cyberspace might land on receptive retinas, might be read by minds that cared.
Ultimately, I suppose there are many reasons to blog. I know my family found it a useful way to keep in touch with a son always on the go.
I think it forces a degree of self reflection, which is hard to find time for in our modern day lives.
I value that it captures my state of mind at a point in time. It's precious to be able to look back, and see from whence I came. Finally, it is a connection. A link to those who know me, who may be near or far away, but all who lie a pixelated screen away.
