I haven't blogged in a couple of days because, well, I just get intimidated. I love to spend my sparetime reading other blogs. Wait, I don't have spare time. Let's call it "time I could be doing many other things, but instead want to look at wonderful blogs." But then I doubt myself. Am I really cut out for all this blogging stuff? And twitter? And Flickr? And, geeze, I feel like I am joining everything. But is it really for me? I want it to be for me. Because I love it. It is an outlet for me. It is a way to connect with others. Like today, I came across this blog. And wanted to go to NC just to meet this cool chic. [No seriously, I have always wanted to just pick up and go somewhere. Even just for the day.]
But then, I go and doubt myself again. Which is kind of weird for me. Because I do consider myself a rather confident person. I mean, coming from a family of six kids, you have to be able to stand your ground.
Really, I don't think I can just stop blogging. There are too many inspirational blogs out there for me to stop. I hope one day I can be inspiration too. Even if it is just to one person.
P.S. I am sure my feelings are partly due to the dreary, cold, rainy weather right now. I am one of those people who totally let the weather affect them.

You are an inspiration to me!
I love reading your blog! I don't have a "baby" anymore but I enjoy hearing about Audrey and your experiences! And how sweet what Andrew wrote in the previous comment!

Hey there...I read your blog...I love hearing about your stories, little victories, and about life in general. I feel like I know you guys more when I don't get to see your lovely faces enough!
Love you,
ME
I love your blog Abra. I have had so little time lately to read other blogs, which is both a bad thing and a good thing. I actually think I am better blogger when I don't read other blogs because just like you, I sometimes get SO INTIMIDATED and just want to give it up. I think, "How can I have a blog when this person already has the perfect blog? I can't do that!" and then I can't think of anything to blog about. Anyway, I love the things you blog about and I love to see your photos. You should consider participating in a weekly carnival like You Capture on I Should Be Folding Laundry. It's a great way to get lots of comments, which I know always encourages me when I am feeling down! :-)
I am really sorry that you were feeling down. I know it can be really hard to put yourself out there for the world to see and not feel intimidated. For what its worth, I don't actually look at a lot of blogs, but I choose to look at yours regularly because I think it is lovely.
Hi Abra, Aha... I've found your blog. Been there and done that with the "what am I doing blogging?" thing. Just enjoy. I've blogged to get readers, blogged a certain subject, blogged without telling anyone... just blog and find out who you are and enjoy meeting others on the path.
Blessings, Kim
