This Blog is mine!
A dear friend who also blogs asked about my blog today.She asked whether my blog was a "mommy blog" like hers.Ok that got me thinking,actually this is not a mommy blog.Yes,it kind of started that way but ended up being mommy's blog rather than a "mom"blog ,if you know what I mean.I had every good intention of recording all the milestones and all that relevant to Ina but frankly I don't remember exactly when she did all those atleast not any dates or anything,she did and I was happy about that.Sometime after I started the blog it became mine,like my own personal space ,a space which gave me a "me" time.I feel everyone should have that "me" time and space.It gives me a place to unwind and ramble on,gather my thoughts and reflect.So this is my blog and Ina will be a part of it just like everything and everyone else are in my life,maybe in bits and pieces like fitting a puzzle piece together to get the whole picture.
Talking about mommies,today one of my very close friend called in telling me she is pregnant!she is 5-6 years my senior but ever since I came to Canada she has been my best friend.It was the best possible news I could get!She and her DH have been struggling with infertility for nearly 7-8 years and I have seen them build and rebuild hopes and go through innumerable battery of tests and upheavls of emotions for a child.They are both kind of people whom when you meet you can just feel instantly that they would make incredible parents.They finally got their dream.It means the world to them and I know how much they have gone through to get to this point.It was a great feeling seeing them excited and happy,it was long overdue.So now it will be finally my turn to host a baby shower!!I pray everything goes smooth for them.God has been kind.

LOL...mine started out as a place to vent things that I thought the folks in my everyday life just wouldn't get! They (the blogs) are our space & like us, they evolve.
Mommy blogs are great, but why would anyone want to limit all of the dynamics that make Mommy's people too!:)
Congrats to your friend & I sure hope everything does go smooth for them.
Yes,it really does evolve with us.In the beginning I just sat in front of the comp and contemplated did I really want to do this and if yes what the hell was I going to write?But once it did then everything just flowed.And yes as you rightly said why would anyone limit themselves to just that aspect of life when there is so much more to them.Now that I did I can't do without it:)
Yep, my earliest posts are all serious and intellectual, but I loosened up. Then i started another blog just to store pictures to not clutter up my "real" blog... And it turns out that's the one many people prefer! Oh well, i'm glad they like it.
Looks like you are creative and have a lot of potential. Good luck but most of all have fun!
Just hit send!
Clatter away on the keyboard, bopping out whatever near and dear, trivial, or fright filled thought you have and just hit send! It's your heart, your thought, your space. Fill it up with you. And then just hit send!
Best wishes to your friends. As SLB says, Love grows.....
Hey Anne,thanks for checking out my blog.I love yours,I'm still figuring out how to get those links on the blog to display.
Singleton&Skinny-Thanks for your wishes for my friend.
Singleton-Yep,if I sit to analyse whether I should hit publish or not then I can never do ,so now I just hit the button anytime I fill up a new entry:)
Sorry, that comment about the toothpicks and stuff wasnt meant really for you, i thought you were probably joking. It was meant more to keep people who don't know and appreciate Skinny, who read our comments, from getting the wrong idea.
How to get those links on the side to appear? Go to the "template" button. If you click it you'll see a lot of html directions. Don't worry if you don't know html. Play with it line by line and have fun discovering the Blogger template. It's pure nerdy joy! If you screw something up, don't panic. Just hit the reset button.
Hey Anne,It's allright no need for any sorry.It was a fun comment and glad you realised that.And thanks for the link tip,I have to fiddle around with that template to get it right!!
