I'm now officially a "blogger"

I've never really been one to write my thoughts down. I just share them with others when they are asked for (and sometimes even when they aren't). I had never really even considered the thought of creating a blog, until I was sitting down with a wise friend of mine and she told me that I had some great advice and should start blogging.

So I thought about it for a while, carefully contemplating the idea. I mean after all a blog is a big responsibility to take on. . . almost like a pet. You have to spend time a lot of time updating it. Just like you have to give a lot of time to say your dog to take it to the vet, the groomer, and for a walk everyday.

Also you have to add new blogs to your blog site everyday, if not everyday at least as often as you can, it should have a plethora of articles for a reader to take a gander at. This is just like feeding your dog, you have to provide it with nourishment everyday. If you can't make it happen everyday, you just shouldn't have a dog.

The last way that a blog is very similar to a pet is connection. You have to have a connection with your little dog. After all, if you don't have an actual relationship with it you will eventually grow tired of taking care of it. The same goes for a blog. You have a connection with your readers. They talk to you, give you feedback on your blogs, and share meaningful insight with you. . . and you, as a blogger, have the duty to keep the connection of the relationship going. By continuing to share insight and hopefully wisdom with them.

I've come to the conclusion that I am ready for a new "pet". Maybe some good will come of it!
