So it’s November.  Which means I will torture myself with NaBloPoMo and attempt to post everyday this month.  This is my 7th attempt–I have been successful 5 of the 7 times.  Just the thought that I have been blogging that long is a bit crazy.  When I started this blog back in March of 2006, I really didn’t have much intention of doing it long term.  But here I am.

I have hopes that each NaBloPoMo will jump start my writing that gets less in quantity as the years pass.  My life is busy and while it appears that I would have much more to write about as I grow as a person and as my kids grow; the reality is that I have much less time for writing.

Because the writing matters.  Just like my photography–I love taking pictures and on the last few vacations with my kids I took few pictures and it made me sad.  That while I spent more time doing things with my family–I didn’t make it a priority to document those moments and you can’t get them back.  That is what this blog is–a chronicling of my life, my kids lives and my views and opinions.  It is important.  Because life keeps moving and doesn’t stop.  You have to capture what you can.

I was helping Noah with something this morning and a memory popped up of him being two and asking for “bun bob” (spongebob).  Now he is on his way to being 7.  The time goes too fast. I am hoping that this year NaBloPoMo really jump starts the attention I give to blogging.
