Had an interesting discussion with my boyfriend, dear David, last night. I'd asked him if he'd ever read my blog, to which his answer was no... not a surprise-- but not all to upsetting to me either. What he said next churned my pride a bit and has led me to seek the wisdom of other bloggers. He said that he believed that there would be a much better use of one's time than sitting at a computer and writing something that no one would really care about reading. (GRRRRRR!!!!) (Those weren't his exact words, but at midnight, when this conversation was going on, I think the exact wording got lost in my anger... but you get the gist!) Now, I know that my life isn't exactly novel worthy, nor is my faith anything extraordinary-- but... God has given me the gift and love of writing-- should I put that down because there are other things to do?? Yes, the yard work will get done, the house will get cleaned... all the other chores will be accomplished-- can't I sit and write for a few minutes each day- using this great gift that God has blessed me with?? Ok, so what do other bloggers think??? Does anyone really care about what we write?? Is this just a huge waste of time??
(On a side note, I know I've slightly (maybe more than slightly) made my dear David sound like a bit of an... ogre...grump...OCD pain-in-the---.... but the truth is that in spite of his shortcomings, and we all have them- he really is a good person who does love me (and visa versa) deeply. So in the unlikely event that he does actually read this... I love you DD!!! :-) )
