Blogging

While I am away on this work trip around England, Europe and Scandi, I have been meaning to keep up this personal blog but I'm finding it challenging because I also have a work blog and am using Facebook to do personal bits and pieces.  It has me thinking about the role of this blog which I set up 7 years ago. It was supposed to be a happy place for reflection and sharing of daily news and events as well as a way for me to keep a running record of Nic's life which I expected I would forget.  This has proved to be the case so the blog is useful for that.  However, since the introduction of fb , I feel sometimes that it I am almost bragging in the blog as that is what fb feels like sometimes.  It is a tricky road to navigate.  But in the course for this conversation with myself , I think I am going to get back to the original intent of this blog which is to record our life for us and anyone who is remotely interested.

Hope you had fun in my home town England.

I've found myself questioning my blog on the same facets as well.

I felt as if I was repeating myself on fb and my blog but then I slowly realized that fb seemed to be a front page for grandiose reflections of peoples lives and I kind of gave it up all together.

But I did fall in love with Instagram and at times I still feel as if I'm repeating myself but at least the audiences on the two are slightly different and I get to add more verbiage to my photos on my blog as compared to instagram.

Hope you find a happy medium.
