Hi there! I got home late from dinner at a friend’s home and did not have time to finish up the very informative “garlic” article that I’ve started, but being with my friend tonight helped me re-focus and remember what this blog is really all about. Helping Others!!
My friend has a baby just a few weeks older than my baby #4 and she was very interested in how I wear my baby. So, I helped her wrap it around and tie it on and put him into it. Just seeing the happy look on her face when we got it all tied up was so wonderful! Then, we were able to sit down together and look at the ACE curriculum that my oldest son uses for homeschooling.
Blogging doesn’t always feel like taking someone by the hand in their own living room and helping them out with something. But, in many ways, it is exactly like that. You come to me for help and advice on certain issues by sitting down at your computer and going to my website. I write articles from my heart about what I know and what I’ve gone through in the hopes of helping you make good decisions or incorporate things into your life that will help you.
In blogging, I can’t always see that satisfied smile when I’ve taught you something useful or shown you something unique. At times, it can get discouraging, wondering whether anyone is being helped or whether anyone is learning anything. That’s were the comments come in! A happy “thank you” or a kind “I agree” really gives me the encouragement and fire to go on writing more useful and informative articles. If I can really HELP someone, if I can really make someone’s life easier by sharing my knowledge, then it’s worth all the late nights and the hard work.
Isn’t what life really boils down to anyway? Whether it’s our kids or our spouse, the elderly lady in the church or the teenager working at the grocery store, life is easier to live when we know we’ve helped someone.
So, if this blog is helping you, would you drop a quick comment? If a particular article comes to you at just the right time, let me know!
We had a fabulous time with our friends this evening, talking and laughing – it was a great evening of friendship. Now, if I could just remember that green beans recipe, I’d be all set! YUM!!
