We Are Bloggers....

We are bloggers! Hear us roar!
I am going to ask you to blog once a week.
Groan
Once a week? How do you blog?
How do I get on the blog?
How do I post?
My password doesn’t work….
I am behind on my blogs.
I am nervous and anxious.
My password still doesn’t work!
Groan
When did it become 30% of our grade?
I groaned again
But when I blog…
There is no right or wrong response
It lets me say things that I am thinking but I don't have to think too much, if you know what I mean.
And when I blog….
I enjoy the pleasure of learning a little more about my colleagues
Some weeks I just write what I want and other weeks I enjoy responding to other people’s entries.
My password is not working again!
And because I blog….
Blogging has made me "cool"
YOU BLOG, MOM? Wow...it just seems so weird to hear/see that you're doing THAT!"
And when I blog…
I am better at expressing my ideas and feelings in a written format than verbally
I CANNOT ADD ANOTHER THING TO MY "TO DO" LIST, I groan….
But when I blog….
I actually find it VERY therapeutic.
And when I blog….
I bond with colleagues I have longed to know better.
I groan…my password is still not working….
And then one day I successfully DO this now without running to Barbara in tears… an amazing accomplishment
I don’t have anything to say about this topic I groan…
But when I blog….
I do like to hear from my friends and often draw inspiration from what is written!
I enjoy reading the responses of my peers. It has made me feel closer to them. It has created a strong sense of community
Blogging....I love the idea of it, and I do enjoy responding and reading what others have written about their thoughts, beliefs....
But…I miss the human contact. I miss the actual voice and having eye contact with people.
Will I use “blogging” in the future? Honestly, no.

And when we blog we experience,
Community
Caring,
Inspiration
Frustration
Groaning
Accomplishment
And success at trying something new
And groaning a little more along the way
Thank you to each and every one of you for humoring me and sticking with this alongside of me!
We are all bloggers…hear us roar!
