Blogging

I have had a dry spell with my blog. I have been preoccupied with life and work. I have to confess that I have had no clear focus on what I really want to blog about. I have contemplated changing the name of my blog to more accurately reflect who I am. I chose my name Pink Granny after surviving breast cancer and going all pink...and because I became a grandmother.

Is my life more accurately reflected in this way? I am more than those things. I sew, crochet, cook, bake and enjoy many crafty projects. I like recreating my home, more particularly my sewing room. I like to do so many things that sometimes it is hard to have one narrow focus. Perhaps that is why I chose Journey as part of my blog name. Life is a journey and mine has taken many paths. Some roads have been more challenging than others yet they are still part of me. The joy in my life is my family, from my husband to my two daughters and their families.

I believe blogging gives us a voice where we may not have a voice. A spot to share and meet other bloggers who are sharing a piece of their lives with us.

As I write this I am reflecting too on all I learn from blogging, about myself and what I have learned. Life is so beautiful and in this hectic world of technology, this blogging game gives us an opportunity to do what our mothers did...sit down with a cup of tea and visit with their friends. I can't remember the last time I did this with anyone at my kitchen table, but I have to admit, I do enjoy visiting with all of you.

Have a wonderful Thursday. Take time to have a nice cup of tea in your favorite cup.
